EXCURSION TO THE SKAERGAARD INTRUSION.
This is a one-off opportunity to visit this spectacular
locality: the world's most famous igneous body and central
to theories of magmatic evolution. Very few geologists

beautiful area. The excursion, based on a modern,

period 1 - 13 September, 2001. Your guides will be Kent
Brooks (Copenhagen), Jens C. Andersen (Camborne, UK)
and Neil Irvine (Washington). Participation is limited to 30
persons and the cost will be 2270 GBP (US$3400),
covering all travel from Iceland and living expenses. A
deposit of 800 GBP (US$ 1200) is requested on booking.
Interest is expected to be high. The booking deadline is 15
January, 2001. For further information please visit our
