Abstract
The third and last year of a systematic field mapping programme in eastem North Greenland was carried out from June to August 1980. The work concluded the field investigations for the 1:500 000 map sheet, while in addition reconnaissance investigations were carried out to the south of the planned map sheet boundary at 81°N latitude (fig. 3). As an integrated part of the mapping, general geological investigations were included in the research. As in the previous two years the logistic back-up for the expedition was arranged in co-operation with a surveying group from the Geodetic Institute, Copenhagen, who established ground control data for new topographical maps of North and North-East Greenland.

Summary
The third and last year of a systematic field mapping programme in eastem North Greenland was carried out from June to August 1980. As an integrated part of the mapping, general geological investigations were included in the research. As in the previous two years the logistic back-up for the expedition was arranged in co-operation with a surveying group from the Geodetic Institute, Copenhagen, who established ground control data for new topographical maps of North and North-East Greenland. After the three years' fieldwork in eastem North Greenland the planned systematic geological mapping and general investigations have been completed, and compilation of results is well under way. The present report is based on an intemal GGU report ('Express report, GGU Peary Land 1980') contributed to by all the participating geologists immediately after the end of the field season
