The 220 km coastline from Tingmiarmiut Fjord to Nanftseq Fjord (fig. 6) was sailed during August and the first week in September, 1970, with the object of completing the 1:500 000 map sheet of South Greenland. Ice conditions prevented access to the coastline between Kap Steen Bille and Puisortoq and between Napassorssuaq Fjord and Anoritftp kangerdlua, in addition to inner parts of fjords north of Kap Herluf Trolle. From this point south sea conditions prevented landings on the seaward capes.
