ABSTRACT Fission track analyses of apatites from sediments, Precambrian gneisses and Caledonian to Tertiary intrusive rocks from the Kangerlussuaq region reveal its post‐Caledonian thermotectonic history. Inland the history involves cooling to temperatures within the high temperature part of the apa...
