Greenland mapping project

Greenland Research Group, University of St Andrews

Undergraduate geology students from the University of St Andrews undertook six weeks of mapping in Qassiarsuk, studying various structures and igneous phenomena for their dissertations. They didn’t just experience fascinating geology but had a proper adventure, from close calls with polar bears, glacial walks and backcountry mountain huts. They thank all their sponsors and particularly the Geological Society of Glasgow for helping them partake in such a magnificent opportunity and are looking forward to sharing their findings with the GSG community.
