Abstract
Project SUPRASYD was initiated in summer 1992 with a helicopter-supported field programme carried out between the end of June and mid-August. As outlined in last year's Report of Activities (Dawes & Schønwandt, 1992) the major aim of SUPRASYD is to provide an economic assessment of the Proterozoic Ketilidian mobile belt that forms the southern tip of Greenland (Fig. 1). In particular focus are supracrustal rocks and later intrusions.

Project SUPRASYD was initiated in summer 1992 with a helicopter-supported field programme carried out between the end of June and mid-August
It is hoped that the multi-season effort willlead to a reappraisal of the mobile belt in terms of modem 'terrane models' allowing assessment of mineral potential in terms of primary environments and tectonic regimes
The south-eastern coast of Greenland is difficult of access
Summary
The south-eastern coast of Greenland is difficult of access. Offshoots of the Inland Ice dominate the high mountainous landscape, and outcrops are largely restricted to steep fjord walls. Previous geological work has been based on boat transport; the 1992 work with helicopter represents the first regional airborne geological survey of this part of Greenland. The Prins Christian Sund Telestation was used as a base-camp for the main operation; Nanortalik town was used as a base for the final days of the field work
