The rocks of the Nordland (Aida) peninsula lying west of Godthåbsfjord (the Nordland Complex of Noe-Nygaard & Ramberg, 1961) are regarded as part of the Greenland Archaean Craton (Bridgwater et al., 1973). Reconnaissance surveys prior to 1973 by B. F. Windley of GGU amplified Noe-Nygaard and Ramberg's statement that the complex is made up principally of intensely metamorphosed and migmatised rocks generally at the granulite facies grade which show diapthoresis in places. A minor part of the complex has also been regarded as supracrustal and anorthosites are present.
