NE Greenland has seen epic polar exploration, bitter territorial disputes, scientific skulduggery but contains some of the world's most striking scenery and geology. It is now documented with a new geological map from 70°N to 82°N, which documents the architecture of the Caledonian mountain range over 1300km.
