Brecciated lineaments in Washington Land, North Greenland, and their relation to Nares Strait
Linear crush zones at Kap Jefferson suggest strike-slip movement transverse to Nares Strait. Other parallel lineaments, fjords and valleys occur in North Greenland and may have similar structures in them. These may have been areas of incipient strike-slip movement related to an early compressional p...
