| Summary: | striking contrast between the thick, brown-weathering flows of the Svartenhuk Formation forming the upper part of the mountain and the thinner, grey-weathering flows of the Vaigat Formation below. This contrast greatly facilitates mapping of the boundary between the formations over much of Svartenhuk Halvø. Near the bottom of the slope in the central part of the photograph, the contact between a cross-cutting dolerite sheet and the underlying sediments interbedded with hyaloclastite breccias can be seen. The poor outcrops at the foot of the slope to the right are of Precambrian gneiss. |
