A glaciological programme was carried out as part of the NORDQUA 86 expedition to the Thule area, Nbrth Greenland, from 7 to 24 August 1986. The expedition included researchers from the five Nordic countries and Great Britain and was organised by the Geological Museum, Copenhagen (Funder, in press). The expedition had a Quaternary geological programme, as well as a glaciological programme dealing with the climatic history and ice-sheet dynamics before and during the last Ice Age in the area.
