The Nordmannvik nappe (Lyngen fjord, northern Norway) is a high grade tectonic unit dominated by mylonitic garnet-kyanite-mica gneisses, with additional calc-sillicates, mafics and high grade relics. The unit was principaly deformed during the Scandian event of the Caledonian orogeny, reaching at le...
