During the summer field work was carried out along the north coast of Disko. This work was a continuation of investigations in 1968 (see Pedersen, 1969, 1970). The purpose of the work was to study the section across the Tertiary volcanic zone exposed along the north coast of Disko and to sample the volcanic rocks for petrological investigation. A zone about 40 km long, from the Kûgánguaq valley to just north-west of Qutdligssat, was mapped, representing a volcanic pile at least 2.3 km thick (see fig. 7).
