Geological mapping in the Umanak district aimed at the production of the 1:1 sheet 70 V.2 Nord - Agpat continued in 1979. The background for this work was outlined by Pulvertaft (1979a). The four geologists who were in the field in 1978 were joined in 1979 by Lasse Schiøtte who mapped area III (Pulvertaft, 1979a, p. 27, fig. 9). In response to a request from Umanak Kommune, one of us (T.C.R.P.) visited the village of Niaqornat to investigate the rock falls that have damaged buildings in the village, and to assess the risk of further falls. Copies of areport on this investigation have been submitted to Umanak Kommune and GGU.
