Abstract

This section presents a list of the principal place names used throughout the book. Spellings have been checked against the entries in The Place Names of Svalbard (NP/Skrifter Nos 80 and 112, 1991), covering standardized place names up to 1955, further names have been derived from more recent published topographic maps. Place names of geological interest are located on figures throughout the book and are indicated here by associated figure numbers. Entries in italics are referenced to a regional chapter (4-11) but not located on a figure. The list represents a large selection of those names that are referred to in the geological literature for Svalbard. The spelling in this list, if there be a conflict between the name in the text and a figure, should be preferred. Early stratigraphic names do not necessarily follow the form of the current place names; see the following stratigraphic glossary and index
