Following the footsteps of «The White Lady»: one page of Yevhenia Yaroshyns'ka's activity as a translator and her context
Authors:   Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Kovalets Lidia
Published: June 2021

The article highlights the creative profile of the Ukrainian writer Yevhenia Yaroshyns’ka (1868–1904) as a translator. Literary science has not touched upon this topic yet. The only exception is her translations of the Czech writer and teacher Vilma Sokolova. Speaking about Y. Yaroshyns’ka’s interest to the literature of other nations, we state that it was organically connected with her great love for reading. That array was naturally dominated by German translations of the world literature. Joining this activity seemed tempting, because it was also a way to gain experience, to test her own strength and the opportunity to promote the problems of the Ukrainian reality. This is the main reason for Y. Yaroshynska’s appeal to create the German translation of Hryhoriy Machtet’s novel «The White Lady» based on the Ukrainian material. The article clarifies the life and activities of this Ukrainian and Russian writer and his connections with the Ukrainian socio-cultural environment, which also led to the autobiographical aspect of the story. The work is full of sympathy for the participants of the Polish uprising of 1863 and the desire for peaceful understanding between the Slavs. At the same time, it was based on a romantic collision. To obtain the permission to publish the translation, Y. Yaroshyns’ka addressed M. Pavlyk who asked in Moscow Nestor Yavorovs’kyi, apparently the Ukrainian student (from the circle of A. Kryms’kyi), who helped the writer to realize her idea. In the article the letters of N. Yavorovs’kyi and H. Machtet to Y. Yaroshyns’ka are published for the first time and their destiny is outlined. When they got to M. Pavlyk, he prepared them for publication, but they never saw the light. The further fate of the translation of «The White Lady» remained unknown. The article names the published examples of Y. Yaroshyns’ka’s translation activity (these are the translations from Bulgarian, Norwegian, Czech languages). The need for a more comprehensive study of this important and interesting topic is also required. The article touches upon the importance to intensify the efforts of scholars to master the body of archival documents related to Y. Yaroshyns’ka. They are stored mainly in the Department of Manuscripts and Textology of the Taras Shevchenko Institute of Literature of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the Central State Historical Archive of Ukraine in Lviv and the V. Stefanyk Lviv National Scientific Library. Obviously, only in this way – having thoroughly studied the source base, knowing the author’s biography and her artistic heritage – we can hope for deeper understanding of the peculiarities of the development of her creative personality.
Intertextual features in the novel by V. Lys “Sylvester’s Island”
Authors:   Oles Honchar Dnipro National University, Kornilova Kateryna
Published: June 2021

The article considers intertextuality as a specificity of the poetics by V. Lys’s novel “Sylvester’s Island”. The focus is on the internal and external intertextual connections, the archetextuality and hypertextuality of the novel. Some manifistations of autointertextuality are investigated. Allusive and reminiscent connections of the work with classical texts of world in Ukrainian lsterature were established. It was found that the main methods of formal expression of intertextuality in the novel by V. Lys “Sylvester’s Island” are the quoted way of thinking of the protagonist, allusion and reminiscences. It was found that the interest performs informative, evaluative, characteristic, eidological and psychological functions. The novel “Sylvester’s Island” is a landmark work of a prose by V. Lys. In 2008, it was awarded the prize of the “Coronation of the Word” competition and became a kind of business card of the writer. “Sylvester’s Island” has rich external and internal intertextual connections. In an interview the master of the word shared the story of the origin of the creative idea. The novel was born from the phrase of the Spanish writer Camilo Hose Sela. In a series of interviews on the Internet V. Lys repeatedly expressed hisиsincere admiration of prose by Val. Shevchuk and from the first pages of “Sylvester’s Island” there is a dialogue with the novel “Birds from the invisible Island”. Thus, at the architextual level, “Sylvester’s Island” corresponds to the story of Val. Shevchuk “Birds from the invisible Island”. In the sphere of direct quotation in V. Lys’s work is dominated by excerpts from folk songs and poems, the horizon of allusive hints and reminiscent references is saturated with images taken from Ukrainian and world classics, among which the images of the island and soul deserve special attention. A characteristic tool in the novel are allusions, which reproduce the versality of the inner world of Sylvester. Intertextual infusions in the form of reminiscences perform a pronounced psychological function, help to recreate the psychological condition of the hero who planned to commit the sin of suicide. The image of chagreen skin, created by V. Lys, is a reminiscence of the mascot image from Honore de Balzac’s novel “Shagreen Skin”. There are also common textual and ideological resonances of “Sylvester’s Island” with M. Kotsyubynsky’s essay “On the Island”. A separate section of V. Lys’s novel is “unpublished” essay-review by Sylvester Vasylchuk “The last story by M. Kotsyubynsky”, whose writing V. Lys attributes to the hero of his own novel. But this essay enters into hypertextual and metatextual connections with “Sylvester’s Island”.

The transitivity of the plot in the aspect of the reception theory exposed the phenomenon of culturological transit, which has its own laws – actually cover the receptive segment of literary science. The article emphasizes the functions of the narrator in creating the personosphere when generating a classical plot. The types of narratives have been selected in M. Bulgakov’s works. The triple argumentation of the receptive theory allows exploring the process of the immanent perception of canonical artistic text. In our case, by studying the existing versions (generative models) of Bulgakov’s «Master and Margarita», we adhere to the signposted methodological contour.

The Nagssugtoqidian boundary and the deformation of the Kângamiut dyke swarm in the Søndre Strømfjord area
Authors: Escher A , Escher J.C , Watterson J
Published: June 2021

The season's objective was the reconnaissance mapping of a c. 7000 km2 area lying between Søndre Strømfjord, the Inland Ice and the Sukkertoppen ice capo. An important feature of this region was known to be the progressive northward deformation of the Kangamiut dyke swarm and an associated amphibolite facies metamorphism of both the dykes and their granulite facies country rocks (Noe-Nygaard & Ramberg, 1961). These changes have been regarded as marking the southern limit of Nagssugtoqidian orogenic activity. In order to make a more comprehensive study of this boundary, the reconnaissance was extended to include the c. 3000 km2 area southwest of the Sukkertoppen ice cap, bounded by Søndre Strømfjord and Evigheds Fjord.
The new GGU base in the Fiskenæsset area
Authors: Henderson G
Published: June 2021

During the summer the GGU base was moved from Mellembygden to north of Fiskenæsset. The new base, which has been given the name Midgård (old Norse - the home of man), is situated at the mouth of a large river entering the sound Sarfat âriât, 16 km in a direct line north-north-east of the fishing village of Fiskenæsset. The journey by ship from Fiskenæsset to the base takes about two hours, the route lying either east or west of the large island of Qeqertarssuatsiaq. The main buildings are situated on the middle and largest of three terraces at the mouth of the river, and the camp area lies 20 m above sea level.
Basic rocks of the Gardar igneous province
Authors: Upton B.G.J
Published: June 2021

The mapping of south-west Greenland by the GGU to a scale of 1:20 000 has revealed a profusion of unmetamorphosed dolerite dykes within the Precambrian basement. Although obviously younger than the latest regional metamorphic event, these basic rocks are either older than, or approximately contemporaneous with, such central igneous complexes as Ilimaussaq and Kungnåt, and it is now clear that basic magmatism played a major role in the evolution of the Gardar alkaline province of which these complexes form a part. This is further attested by the preservation of basaltic lavas within the region, particularly within the down-faulted block of the Ilimaussaq peninsula. The basic intrusions and lavas are believed to be between 1400 and 1000 m. y. old.
Field mapping in the Scoresby Sund area, East Greenland
Authors: Henriksen N
Published: June 2021

The five year field mapping programme in the Scoresby Sund area which was begun in 1968 continued during the 1969 season. This season the expedition was based on the 1855 ton polar vessel "Magga Dan", which carried two Bell helicopters and supported three smaller boats; 38 expedition members and 30 crew members participated in the expedition which lasted 63 days. The expedition members included 15 two-man geological parties, of which 7 mapped in the Caledonian crystalline complex north and south of outer Nordvestfjord, two in the crystalline complex in south-western Liverpool Land, one party in Tertiary basalts south-west and south of Hall Bredning; one party made Quaternary geological investigations on eastern Milne Land and western Jameson Land, and one party undertook special geochronological investigations on Bjørneøer; the remaining 3 parties mapped in the Upper Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sediments of central and northern Jameson Land (see K. Perch-Nielsen, this report), Approximately 7000 km2 were mapped in the crystalline complexes, and about 2000 km2 in the Mesozoic sediments at a scale of 1:50 000. After two seasons mapping the field work between 71°15' and 72°00' N is almost completed.

Bedrock geology of the nunataks and semi-nunataks in the Frederikshåbs Isblink area of southern West Greenland
Authors: Dawes P.R
Published: June 2021

The Precambrian geology of an area of 250 km2 within the old gneiss block ofWest Greenland is described. The area is composed of a gneiss-granite-amphibolite complex which is cut by later basic dykes. The largest part of the complex is made up of folded and migmatised biotite-, hornblende- and epldotebearing gneisses in which granodiorites and adamellites can be mapped as separate granite units. Different types of amphibolites and ultramafic rocks occur in the complex. The oldest amphibolites occur as migmatised and folded inclusions and tracts within the gneisses and these are cut by different generations of metabasite dykes which are themselves migmatised and deformed. Metavolcanic rocks containing pillow lavas and metagabbro layers exist on some nunataks and these are considered to form cover rocks to an earlier basement. Aspects of the deformational and metamorphic history are discussed. At least six main phases of deformation ean be recognised in rocks which are polymetamorphic. The gneisses and granites of the complex display amphibolite facies mineralogy but greenschist mineral assemblages characterise some of the amphibolite and ultramafic rocks. Relics of an early high-grade metamorphism, possibly reaching granulite facies conditions, are preserved in some basic rocks. The basic dykes which cut this polymetamorphic complex vary from dolerite to lamprophyre. The late tectonism and metamorphism is described. An attempt is made to place the area into the regional chronology of this part of West Greenland.

Field investigations in the Julianehåb granite on the nunataks north-west, north and east of Narssarssuaq, South Greenland
Authors: Allaart J.H
Published: June 2021

Before the compilation of the Narssarssuaq sheet (1:100 000) could be finished, about 900 km2 of high mountainous terrain in the north-western, northern and eastern parts of the sheet area had to be mapped. Important occurrences of supracrustal rocks have been found in three different places. One, north-west of Narssarssuaq, consists of interbanded ampbibolite, semipelitic gneiss and aplitic gneiss. The two other occurrences, both in the north, consist of acid and also some intermediate porphyhtic metavolcanics alternating with layers of pyrodastic rocks and aplitic gneiss.

A preliminary description of the Klokken intrusion, South Greenland
Authors: Parsons I
Published: June 2021

Klokken is a small (3 x 2 km), Gardar igneous complex at 60°56'N, 45°05'W.The intrusion is oval in form and the rock types are arranged in almost perfectly concentric fashion, an outer ring of gabbro giving way inwards via syenogabbros and basic syenites to a strikingly layered body of syenite. Quartz occurs in droses and in aplites and pegmatites, so that although the complex lies only 1 km south of the Igaliko nepheline syenites (Emeleus & Harry, 1970), it is oversaturated and should not be regarded as a satellite of Igaliko. Klokken was visited in 1959 and 1960 by K. Ellitsgaard-Rasmussen in whose field notes many of the observations presented here may be found. The object of the 1971 field work was to obtain comprehensive specimen coverage, to look closely at the remarkable field relations and to extend the detail of the mapping. The complex has sharp contacts with the surrounding Julianehåb granite and the existence of substantial protrusions, roof pendants and rotated xenoliths of country rock can be demonstrated. Hornfelsing and local mobilisation of the country rock has occurred.

Published: June 2021

The systematic mapping of the Quatemary deposits by the Survey (S. Funder, M. Kelly, D. Laursen, L. Simonarson, N. W. Ten Brink and the present compiler) has produced a need for a regular dating of shell and driftwood material connected to Holocene shore-lines. It is hoped to erect a framework of dated shorelines from Greenland coastal areas, which can be used for reference and for control in establishing the age of other Holocene events.

Published: June 2021

During the summer of 1971 mapping of Quatemary geology was carried out in the eastem part of the Scoresby Sund region: along the coasts of Jameson Land, at the head of Carlsberg Fjord, around Scoresbysund settlement and at the mouth of Schuchert Dal to the north of Hall Bredning. Observations made by K. Birkenmajer and M. Aellen on the distribution of erratic boulders and extent of glaciation in areas to the south and south-west of Carlsberg Fjord and along the east side of Schuchert Dal were kindly made available to me. The work this summer marked the completion of a 'three summer project' of Quatemary mapping in the region. Some results from the first two summers have been published previously (Funder, 1970, 1971). In the map (map 4) some significant field observations have been presented. The distribution of 'Jameson Land plateau drift deposits' on the map is mainly based on observations by F. Surlyk and T. Birkelund which kindly have been put at my disposal. Sample localities of C14 dates are plotted on the map; a list of these dates with short abstracts is found at the end of this report.

Sapphirine and kornerupine occurrences within the Fiskenæsset complex
Authors: Herd R.K
Published: June 2021

Detailed mapping and laboratory studies have been undertaken on rock and mineral associations of the rare magnesium aluminium silicates sapphirine and kornerupine. Their type locality in the southern harbour at Fiskenæsset town was discovered by K. L. Giesecke in 1809 (see Bøggild (1953) for a summary of early investigations). Prior to mapping by GGU and Platinomino A/S geologists in 1970 and 1971, seven localities for sapphirine had been localised within the Fiskenæsset complex (Herd et al., 1969); new discoveries of sapphirine, kornerupine, and (often associated) ruby corundum, have increased the number of known localities to approximately forty.

Authors: Pedersen A.K
Published: June 2021

During the summer field work was carried out along the north coast of Disko. This work was a continuation of investigations in 1968 (see Pedersen, 1969, 1970). The purpose of the work was to study the section across the Tertiary volcanic zone exposed along the north coast of Disko and to sample the volcanic rocks for petrological investigation. A zone about 40 km long, from the Kûgánguaq valley to just north-west of Qutdligssat, was mapped, representing a volcanic pile at least 2.3 km thick (see fig. 7).

Preliminary results of the mapping in the migmatite complex around Fønfjord and Gåsefjord, Scoresby Sund
Authors: Henriksen N , Higgins A.K
Published: June 2021

The Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) carried out in 1972 the fifth summer of systematic mapping in the crystalline complex of the Scoresby Sund region. The region mapped in the southernmost part of the inner fjord zone was an extension of that mapped during the first three summers. The main geological divisions in the region have been outlined by Henriksen & Higgins (1969, 1970, 1971). The crystalline complex in the inner fjord region of Scoresby Sund can be divided into a western gneiss and schist zone and an eastern zone of migmatites and associated plutonic rocks. A major approximately N-S trending, east dipping thrust zone following Rødefjord separates these two units. The western zone is described by Phillips, Stillman, Friderichsen & Jemelin (this report) and this account only deals with the eastern migmatite zone.
Preliminary report on the mapping of the basalts of the inner part of Scoresby Sund
Authors: Watt W.S , Watt M
Published: June 2021

The mapping of the basalts was completed during the 1972 field season. The area covered was a large part of southern Gåseland together with the area south of Gåsefjord in the region west of Kap Stevenson as far south as the ice cap. Thirty-seven traverses covering all parts of the basalts succession (totalling about 18000 m) form the basis of the interpretation of the regional geology. The sections were linked by helicopter reconnaissance. A one-day visit was made to Gronau Nunatakker and the western side of Christian IV Gletscher (75 km south-west of the head of Gåsefjord) in order to obtain a general idea of the southern inland continuation of the plateau basalts.

Published: June 2021

The glaciological work on the 1972 geological expedition to Scoresby Sund, East Greenland, was an expansion of the observations made on the expedition in 1968 (see Olesen & Reeh, 1969). In 1968 observations on rate of movement and estimations of the calve-ice production in the northern parts of the Seoresby Sund fjord complex were carried out. A natural continuation of this study was to observe the remainder of the major glaciers, draining the lnland lce into the southern parts of the same fjord system.
The uranium deposit at Kvanefjeld, the Ilímaussaq intrusion, South Greenland, Geology, reserves and beneficiation
Authors: Sørensen H , Rose-Hansen J , Nielsen B.L , Løvborg L , Sørensen E , Lundgaard T
Published: June 2021

The uranium-thorium deposit is located in part of an alkaline intrusion consisting of peralkaline, agpaitic nepheline syenites. The radioactive minerals are steenstrupine, uranium-rich monazite, thorite and pigmentary material. The radio-element content varies from 100 to 3000 ppm U and 300 to 15000 ppm Th. Reasonably assured ore in the main area with a grade of 310 ppm is calculated to 5800 metric tons of uranium in 18.6 million metric tons of ore. Estimated additional reserves with a grade of 292 ppm U are 29.4 million tons of ore with 8700 tons of uranium and 3.5 million tons of ore with a grade of 350 ppm yielding 1200 tons of uranium. Estimates of amounts of thorium ore are 2.6 times those of uranium. A method of recovery of the uranium based on sulphating roasting and subsequent leaching with water is described.
Environmental studies in the Qaumarujuk and Agfardlikavsâ fjords, Umanak district, central West Greenland
Authors: Bondam J , Asmund G
Published: June 2021

Early in 1972 Greenex NS obtained a license for mining operations of the zinc-Iead occurrence at Marmorilik in the Umanak district of central West Greenland. Tailings from the flotation plant, totalling approximately 450 000 tons/year, are dumped in the fjord Agfardlikavsa (fig. 4). Understandably the local population demanded assurance that no toxic effects would harm their main source of living - fishery of prawn and fish, and prior to mining the Ministry for Greenland set stringent limits for the levels of waste products permissible. In order to gain some knowledge of the natural background level of, in particular, heavy metals in an area so far unaffected by mining operations or industrial pollution, it was decided to investigate the natural environment before mining operations started in the autumn of 1973.

Mineralogy and geochemistry of two Amîtsoq gneisses from the Godthåb region, West Greenland
Authors: Mason B
Published: June 2021

Amitsoq gneisses are of granodioritic composition, consisting largely of quartz, oligocIase, microcIine, and biotite, with accessory amounts of hornblende, epidote, sphene, apatite, zircon, and allanite. Two of these rocks and their constituent minerals have been analysed for Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, es, Ba, the Iantha· nides, Hf, Pb, Th, and U by spark source mass spectrometry. The trace element abundances and the lanthanide distribution patterns for these rocks are not significantly different from those in relatively young rocks of similar bulk composition.
Tension structures related to gliding tectonics in the Caledonian superstructure of Canning Land and Wegener Halvø, central East Greenland
Authors: Caby R
Published: June 2021

A variety of types of pre-Devonian tension structures observed in the late Precambrian Eleonore Bay Group, Tillite Group and Cambrian strata of Canning Land and Wegener Halvø are described and their mutual relationships discussed. They represent the main Caledonian deformation within the region, and seem to have formed during the westward tectonic transport of gliding units on discontinuity surfaces which lie mostly parallel to bedding.
Metamorphism in the Fiskenæsset region
Authors: Kalsbeek F
Published: June 2021

This study is based on a collection of 300 rock samples, taken on the basis of a grid consisting of equilateral triangular cells within a region of c. 4000 km2 between Grædefjord and Frederikshåbs Isblink. The localities were visited by helicopter, two samples being taken at each of 150 grid points. To promote unbiased sampling, location of the grid points in the field was left to the pilot. It was attempted to obtain two representative samples at each locality, but due to the inhomogeneity of the rocks the choice of representative samples was generally a matter of personal judgement. The collection ean therefore at best be regarded as representative for the region, but not as a random sample. No samples of the late dolerite dykes of the area were taken, with one exception, even if the sample point (landing place) was on one of these dykes. Thin sections of the 300 samples were studied. The volumetric percentages of the main minerals were visually estimated and the presence of accessory minerals was noterl. In addition, the anorthite content of the plagioclase in a number of samples was measured, the colour of the hornblende was noted and the degree of alteration of the samples was assessed.
Stratigraphy, structure and igneous features of the Angnertussoq layer of the Fiskenæsset complex

Published: June 2021

A prominent layer of the Fiskenæsset complex (Kalsbeek & Myers, 1973) extends for at least 10 km eastwards from Angnertussoq mountain which is situated about 14 km south-east of Fiskenæsset. Its stratigraphy is broadly similar to that of the Qeqertarssuatsiaq layer to the north (Windley, Herd & Bowden, 1973), and to those parts of the Fiskenæsset complex in the Majorqap qava area (Myers, 1973) and in the region north of Bjørnesund (Walton, 1973). Igneous textures and grading are extremely well preserved in the Angnertussoq layer, the grading providing a confirmation of the way-up of the stratigraphic succession indicated by the whole-rock chemistry (Windley et al., 1973). Five weeks were spent mapping the stratigraphy and structure of the Angnertussoq layer on approximately 1:20000 aerial photographs. At its narrowest it is less than l m thick and at its widest, 2 km. It is bordered conformably by biotite/hornblende-bearing granitic gneisses. The complex in this area was recrystallised by at least an amphibolitegrade metamorphism and deformed by thrusting and two major phases of folding.
C14 dating of Survey material performed in 1974
Authors: Weidick A
Published: June 2021

Thirteen radiocarbon age determinations of shell samples (12) and wood (1) are assembled in tbis account. The material dated was collected in connection with GGU field work. The samples have been dated at Isotopes Inc., Westwood, New Jersey, U.S.A. Determination of the wood sample was kindly made by Jette Dahl Møller, Institute of Plant Anatomy and Cytology, University of Copenhagen. Dating has also been carried out on a number of shelIs, dredged alive prior to 1950, in order to control the apparent age in shell dating determinations (Tauber & Funder, tbis report).
Lower Palaeozoic stratigraphy of southern Peary Land, eastern North Greenland
Authors: Peel J.S , Christie R.L
Published: June 2021

The geology of the area around Jørgen Brønlund Fjord has previously been described by Koch (1923) and Troelsen (1949, 1956), while Jepsen (1971) recently discussed the late Precambrian - early Cambrian sequence. The two month field season in 1974 was designed to complement this work by establishing a reference profile through the Lower Palaeozoic sequence exposed in the valley of Børglum Elv to the north of its outflow into Jørgen Brønlumd Fjord (fig. 5). Substantial lithological and palaeontological collections were made from approximately 2500 m of strata examined in nine stratigraphic sections.
Glacial features of the Børglum Elv region, eastern North Greenland
Authors: Christie R.L
Published: June 2021

Lauge Koch recognised in 1921 that the Inland Ice had not overwhelmed all of North Greenland during the Glacial Epoch and, although his data were few, he suggested a generalised probable outward extent of the former ice cap (Koch, 1923, fig. 2). The mapping of the outward limit was based on the identification of erratics of rocks unique to parts of the present northern margin of the Inland Ice. Field work by Troelsen (1952) confirmed the existence of the limit in the vicinity of BØrglum Elv. Data collected in 1974 suggest that Koch's line, in the Børglum Elv region at least, was well located, but that the boundary relationships may be complex due to overlapping of limits of ice from the south and the north.
Field mapping of the pre-3760 m.y. old supracrustal rocks of the Isua area, southern West Greenland
Authors: Allaart J.H
Published: June 2021

The first of a two-summer mapping programme on the Isua supracrustal rocks was undertaken as part of a larger mapping project aimed at the completion of the 1:500 000 map sheet søndre Strømfjord - Frederikshåb Isblink. The Isua supracrustal belt with its major occurrence of banded ironstone was discovered and mapped by geologists of Kryolitselskabet Øresund A/S (Keto, 1970). A Pb-Pb whole rock isochron age of 3760±70 m.y. for the banded ironstone has been obtained by Moorbath et al. (1973). Bridgwater & McGregor (1974) spent 14 days in the area in 1973.

Zetterstrøm (Randers, Denmark). The two-man field parties were served by two helicopters and the GGU motor cutters J. F. Johnstrup and Villiaumit operating from the base camp Midgård. As in earlier years, Ib Olsen (GGU) took care of most of the practical arrangements.
Pseudo-fractionation trend of the Fiskenæsset anorthosite complex, southern West Greenland
Authors: Myers J.S
Published: June 2021

The Fiskenæsset anorthosite complex is a sheet of layered igneous cumulates, 350-400 m thick, which was intruded into volcanic rocks, now amphibolites (Escher & Myers, this report). It was later disrupted by the intrusion of an enormous amount of granitoid material, mainly as sheets during regional deformation, and was metamorphosed in amphibolite and hornblende granulite facies about 2850 m.y. ago (Black et al., 1973). Fragments of similar rocks are widespread throughout the Archaean gneiss complex of Greenland, although the name Fiskenæsset complex is limited to the occurrences in the Fiskenæsset region (Bridgwater et al., in press).

The use of small bags filled with ion exchange resin placed in running water (Asmund, 1974) has proved to be a most useful method for investigation of the distribution of dissolved Zn, Cd, Pb,Cu, Cr, Ni and U in fresh water streams in a 2000 km2 area around Narssaq, South Greenland.
Marine geophysical survey of the East Greenland shelf south of Angmagssalik
Authors: Larsen B
Published: June 2021

An offshore geophysical programme was carried out during the summer in order to conduct a seismic and magnetic reconnaissance of the shelf areas off southern Greenland. Due to technical problems, the survey was concentrated on the shelf off Sukkertoppen and in Julianehåb Bugt, West Greenland, and off East Greenland between 63°N and 65°N. In all, the four-man team from the Geological Survey of Greenland, assisted by the crew of M/S Tycho Brahe, completed about 4500 km of seismic or magnetic profiles. Only the preliminary resuIts of the survey of the shelf off East Greenland are presented here.
Aeromagnetic investigations in East Greenland
Authors: Larsen H.C
Published: June 2021

During 1974, aeromagnetic profiling and mapping were carried out in two different parts of East Greenland (fig. 20). The most southerly area comprised the continental shelf between 63°30' and 66°N (Angmagssalik district), while the northern area covered the sedimentary basin of late Palaeozoic and Mesozoic rocks forming the land surface between 70° and 74°N.
C14 content of recent molluscs from Scoresby Sund, central East Greenland
Authors: Tauber H , Funder S
Published: June 2021

C14 dating of subfossil marine shelIs presupposes a knowledge of the original C14 activity of the organisms while living. Due to the slow turn over of water masses, the C14 activity of marine bicarbonate and marine organisms is not the same in all parts of the oceans, but may show marked deficiencies in certain oceanic areas, especially at southern latitudes. In large areas of the North Atlantic the C14 activity seems to be fairly uniform and equal to or only slightly lower than that of 'pre-industrial' terrestrial plants (Broecker et al., 1960; Mangerud, 1972; Krog & Tauber, 1974). In certain areas, however, a somewhat lower activity seems to occur; trus has been noted for areas along the east coast of Greenland (Fonselius & Ostlund, 1959; Hjort, 1973).
Radiometric survey between Scoresby Sund and Hold with Hope, central East Greenland
Authors: Nielsen B.L , Løvborg L
Published: June 2021

Airborne gamma-spectrometry and subsequent radiometric field investigations in central East Greenland have revealed a number of areas of above average radioactivity and a number of radioactive anomalies within these areas. These areas can be divided geologicaIly into: pre-Caledonian crystalline basement, late and post-Caledonian plutonic rocks, Tertiary plutons and areas of intensive faulting and shearing. Areas bordering continental sedimentary formations are envisaged as potential host rocks for epigenetic uranium mineralization. The spectrometer system applied, with a detector volume of 3.7 litres, does not completely satisfy a quantitative evaluation of the spectrometric data recorded and a distinction between major rock units is only possibie from the gross channel count rates.

Quaternary observations in southern Peary Land, North Greenland
Authors: Weidick A
Published: June 2021

A geological group consisting of the author and P. R.Dawes accompanied the 1975 Greenland Ice Sheet Programme's (GISP) ice drilling operation at Hans Tavsens Iskappe, south-westem Peary Land. The primary objective of the group was to investigate the Quaternary history of the area south of the ice cap as a supplement to the work done elsewhere in Peary Land by the various Peary Land Expeditions (Troelsen, 1952; Kirkeby, 1963: Fredskild, 1969), Operations Groundhog and Lead Dog (Stoertz & Needleman, 1957; Davies, 1972; Ahnert, 1960) and the British Joint Services Expedition (Dawes, 1970).
Physiographic and geological mapping of the sea-floor off West Greenland
Authors: Roksandic M.M
Published: June 2021

Part of the continental shelf off West Greenland between 61° and 64°N was mapped in 1975. For this, data were drawn from three main sources. (1) Newly published bathymetric maps covering offshore West Greenland from 59°N to 69°30'N, with 10 m contour interval (Henderson, 1975) give a detailed picture of the sea-floor. (2) The original echograms recorded by the Royal Danish Hydrographic Office give a more detailed picture ofthe relief along selected lines than can be obtained from (l) as well as giving indications of the nature ofthe sea-floor. Copies of echograms have been obtained from the Hydrographic Office, but the interpretation of these is at an early stage. (3) Some sparkerseisniic profiles acquired in 1970 by Greenland Exploration Management Company, Inc. were studied to allow identification of units immediately below the sea-floor. The author wishes to thank the company for permission to refer in general terms to some of the main results stemming from this interpretation. This brief report comprises general conc!usions based on interpretation of data from all three sources, inc!uding the seismic data.
Continued environmental studies in the Qaumarujuk and Agfardlikavsâ fjords, Mârmorilik, Umanak district, central West Greenland
Authors: Asmund G , Bollingberg H.J , Bondam J
Published: June 2021

The results of studies of the heavy metal background level in the natural environment ofthe Qaumarujuk and Agfardlikavså fjords, adjacent to the lead-zinc mine Sorte Engel (= Black Angel) near Mârmorilik (71°07'N, 51°16'W), have been briefly communicated by Bondam & Asmund (1974), Asmund (1975), Bohn (1975) and BoIlingberg (1975). FuHdetails of the analyticaI results of these surveys have been reported in Danish elsewhere. (Vandkvalitetsinstituttet 1972; Grønlands Fiskeriundersøgelser et al., 1974; GGU et al., 1975). Since then, renewed sampling has been carried out, both in February and August 1974, and in April and September 1975, in order to follw closely the environmental dissemination of some heavy metals in the fjord region, due to disposal of tailings from the flotation plant adjacent to Agfardlikavsåfjord (fig. 18). This short communication deals with the content of certain heavy metals of bottom sediments, biological tissues and samples of sea water in the fjord regime after full production started in October 1973.
Aeromagnetic surveys in southern and central West Greenland between 63° and 71°N
Authors: Thorning L
Published: June 2021

A two-year programme of aeromagnetic investigations has been planned for certain areas of West Greenland.The work was started in 1975 from a base camp at SøndreStrømfjord with the majority of the operations taking place in the region south of 67°N. The airbome measurements of the total intensity ofthe earth's magnetic field were carried out in co-operation with the party doing radiometric work in the same part of Greenland (Secher, this report). The same aircraft and in part the same instruments were used. Next year, the work will be continued with the main emphasis on the regions north of 67°N. On completion of the airbome programme follow-up geophysical groundwork wili be initiated. In 1975 more than 30 000 km of magnetic profile were measured (fig. 22). Most of this (25 000 km) was located in grids covering approximately 40000 km2. At the time of writing most of the digital data is in the process of computer compilation, and only comments based on inflight observations and on inspections of the analogue records ean be presented here. This note therefore, deals with the extent of the field work, and points to some of the more obviously interesting features seen in the data.

Authors: Olesen N.Ø , Sørensen K
Published: June 2021

During the summers 1966 to 1969 geological mapping on the Agto 1:100 000 map sheet (fig. 23) was undertaken by Erling Bondesen and students mainly from Aarhus University (for example, see Bondesen, 1966, 1970). During this period the north-westem part of the region was completed - amounting to about half of the total map sheet area, In 1975 the second stage of this mapping commenced, sponsored by GGU, and it is planned to complete the map sheet in four summers.
