The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) announces the
publication of new 1:250 000 topographic maps of North and North-East
Greenland. The wilderness and rugged mountains of these regions can now
be studied on printed GEUS maps.
The 53 new map sheets cover the area from western North Greenland near
Qaanaaq to the northernmost tip of Greenland at Kap Morris Jesup, and
south to Scoresby Sund in Central East Greenland. These maps include
contour lines for every 100 meters and information about coastlines,
lakes, and rivers.
The printing of the new map sheets is financed by the Aage V. Jensen
Foundations and later this year GEUS will publish the corresponding
1:250 000 geological maps.
The topographical as well as geological data can be found by clicking
