The Palaeogene volcanic province of central West
Greenland extends for 550 km from north to south and 200 km from east to west (Henderson 1973; Henderson et al. 1981; Whittaker 1996). In a preliminary interpre-tation of the area offshore Disko and Nuussuaq, based on older seismic data, Whittaker (1996) described a number of large rotated fault blo...
