Description
Summary:The "Geological Map of Northeast Greenland" was compiled and drafted in 1964, and reached the stage of proof-print in 1968. It was planned as part of a twosheet series of geologic maps on a scale of 1: 1,000,000 that was to summarize the results of the Danish East Greenland Expeditions 1926 to 1958, conducted by LAUGE KOCH. The present map sheet covers the region from latitudes 75° to 82°N. The geological information contained in this map is based on reports published before 1964 (see list of references) and on field observations and reconnaissance flights the author had made in the summers of 1955, 1956, and 1958. In view of more recentand systematic field investigations by the Geological Survey of Greenland in the region north of latitude 80°, the present map has become more of a historical document recording the state-of-the-art as of 1960. For the region south of latitude 79°N, however, the m,ap still is the most recent version.
