Geology of the Iesjav'ri-Skoganvarre area, Northern Finnmarksvidda, North Norway.
The Iesjav'ri-Skoganvarre areas is located in the northern part ofFinnmarksvidda and its underlain by Archaean-Early Proterozoic rocks. Theoldest unit, the Jer'gul Gneiss Complex, is unconformably overlain bymetasediments and metavolcanites assigned to the Vuomegiclas, Skuvvanvarriand Suol...
