The 1980-1981 field work in Precambrian basement rocks for the Fiskefjord map sheet was continued in 1983. V. R. McGregor mapped granulite facies gneisses south of outer Fiskefjord in the south-western part of the map sheet area. The author worked inland between Godthåbsfjord and Fiskefjord from the eastern map sheet boundary at 50°54'E westwards to 51°45'E (fig. 22) and some notes concerning the lithologies, geometry and geochronology of this area are presented below. The GGU cutter K. J. V. Steenstrup and a Jet Ranger helicopter on weekly charter from Godthåb provided logistic support for the two Fiskefjord teams and for four teams mapping in the Ivisårtoq area (see Brewer et al., this report) as well as for the GGU glaciological station at Qamanârssûp serrnia.
