Abstract
The main aim of the 1976 field work was an investigation of the extent of Quaternary deposits in the central part of Olrik Fjord, north of Thule Air Base, North-West Greenland. In addition, other localities were visited across northern Greenland to locate and collect samples for C14 dating in order to supplement the hitherto sparce evidence of Holocene deglaciation and uplift of this region, i.e. at Narssârssuk, south of Thule Air Base, central Hall Land, J. P. Koch Fjord, and the delta of Børglum Elv in Peary Land (fig. 8).

At its westernjunction with Hvalsund (Ikerssuaq) it is 8 km wide whereas its greatest part forms a 3-4 km wide channel penetrating plateau landscapes with surfaces at 800-1000 m above sea level. There are few earlier investigations of the Quater-
