Evidence of the Bedrock Beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet Near Camp Century, Greenland
Abstract Igneous and metamorphic cobbles in sub-ice material recovered from a drill core which penetrated the ice sheet at Camp Century, Greenland, provide a rare look at the geology beneath the ice in the interior of Greenland. The sub-ice material can be correlated, based on petrography, with rock...
