As part of the programme to produce geologlcal maps at scale 1:500 000 of West Greenland, a photogeological interpretation of the areas covered by the sheets 68 V.1 Egedesminde and 68 V. 2 Chrishanshåb was made in the summer of 1965. It was hoped that an interpretation of the aerial photos, with the help of the geological reconnaissance map by Noe-Nygaard and Ramberg (1961) would provide not only structural information, but also lithological details in the inland areas not covered by their map.
