The aim of this paper is to present a review of the stratigraphy and regional depositional setting of the Brønlund Fjord and Tavsens Iskappe Groups in their northern outcrop. In addition, the Kap Stanton Formation, a new formation of the Tavsens Iskappe Group, is formally defined. In particular, the aim is to clarify the relationship between these northern sections and the better known, more proximal shelf sediments of the southern outcrop belt.
