Abstract
Thc carbonate mounds of Peary Land form part af a biohermal belt which can be traced east-west across North Greenland (Dawes. 197 J, 1976). Carbonate mounds in central Peary Land (fig. 27, locality 1) have been described by Mayr (1976), Christie & Peel (1977) and Lane & Thomas (1979). This paper discusses previously undescribed carbonate mounds from south-east Peary Land (fig. 27, localitics 2-11). In this region the widely spaced mounds form low hills and vary in size from tens af metres across to large biohermal complexcs covering several square kilometres.
