Onshore geological evidence, however, implied that no more than 25 km of offset had taken place (MAYR & DE VRIES 1982), and this discrepancy has given rise to a long-standing controversy.The situation is complicated by the fact that in addition to the postulated Wegener Fault two more important tectonic boundaries are mapped to lie under the waters of the northern part of Nares Strait (Fig. 1).The question: Did Greenland drift along Nares Strait? has been argued for more than 90 years, and was the subject of a major symposium in 1980 (DAWES & KERR 1982).The papers in this volume describe results obtained during a recent geological/geophysical survey of Nares Strait, that may help to resolve some of these problems.
