Summary
[n 1994 The Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) conducted an airborne geophysical survey of Inglefield Land, NOIth-West Greenland, financed by the Govemment of Greenland, Minerals Office. The eireular struclures on Inglefield Land had becn identified during a reconnaissance photogeological interpretation (Sharp, 1991), but had not been checked on the ground. The structures were interpreted to represent voleanie pipes (Stemp & Thorning, 1995), and palticula.rly interesting if they were kimberlite pipes. The idea lhallhe slructures represented kimberlite pipes caused several mining companics to apply for concessions in Inglel~eld Land.
