During September 1989 a survey of the Godthåbsfjord area was carried out in order to study the deep seismic structure of high-grade Archaean crust (Bridgwater et al., 1976; McGregor et al., 1986). Refraction profiles were made along Godthåbsfjord and Ameralik. Receiver stations were placed along the fjords and inland to provide cross-profiles and 3-D coverage (fig. 1). Marine air-guns provided the seismic energy source.
