| Summary: | The geological map coverage of Greenland at scale 1:500 000 is nearing completion, with the Kane Basin sheet of north-western Greenland the last to be com-piled (sheet 6 between 78°–81°N; Fig. 1). Sporadic work by the Survey since the 1970s identified the main geo-logical provinces and structure of the region but the lithologies of the Precambrian shield were not suffi-ciently mapped inland to warrant final compilation. Project Kane Basin 1999 was designed to provide this knowledge; the optimal use of logistics enabled a range of geological activities to be undertaken, as well as other scientific disciplines.
