The Jameson Land peninsula is situated on the northern side of the Scoresby Sund fjord, a major drainage path for the eastern part of the Greenland ice sheet.
Jameson Land is ice-free today, but is partly covered by glacial deposits containing rocks of a western provenance, which indicate that the Greenland Ice Sheet has earlier advanced across the peninsula.
The fieldwork of 2006, following up on work done within the same project in 2004 and 2005, was carried out during four weeks in August, when the researchers revisited two of the field areas from 2005.
