Abstract
As a member of the 7th Danish Peary Land Expedition in the summer of 1970 led by Count Eigil Knuth, the author had the opportunity to study a section through the Precambrian, Eocambrian and Lower Cambrian strata along the south-eastern shore of Heilprin Land (fig. 2). The main purpose was to examine the Precambrian Midsommersø dolerites (see below), and also to map the sedimentary formations of the area. This report describes the results of the mapping.

As a member of the 7th Danish Peary Land Expedition in the summer of 1970 led by Count Eigil Knuth, the author had the opportunity to study a section through the Precambrian, Eocambrian and Lower Cambrian strata along the south-eastern shore of Heilprin Land
At the beginning of the Eocambrian the area became icecovered, and during that glaciation a rather irregular topography was developed on the upper surfaee of the Inuiteq Sø Formation (Jepsen, in press)
This erosional surface has a slight dip (1_2°) towards NNE with the result that it reaches the mountain plateau north-west of Diabasnæs and that south of latitude 82° all the strata exposed belong to the Inuiteq Sø Formation
