A geological group consisting of the author and P. R.Dawes accompanied the 1975 Greenland Ice Sheet Programme's (GISP) ice drilling operation at Hans Tavsens Iskappe, south-westem Peary Land. The primary objective of the group was to investigate the Quaternary history of the area south of the ice cap as a supplement to the work done elsewhere in Peary Land by the various Peary Land Expeditions (Troelsen, 1952; Kirkeby, 1963: Fredskild, 1969), Operations Groundhog and Lead Dog (Stoertz & Needleman, 1957; Davies, 1972; Ahnert, 1960) and the British Joint Services Expedition (Dawes, 1970).
