IN 930 the mountainous country behind the coast from Mikki Fjord to the Angmagssalik District was seen for the first time by Watkins in a seaplane. In particular a high range of mountains tentatively called the New Mountains was seen to the north of Kangerdlugsuak. Subsequent flights over this sector of the coast were made by Rasmussen, Lauge Koch, Von Gronau, and Lindberg. The first named made an aerial survey and in I934 the Geodetic Institute of Copenhagen brought out a map of the mountain country north of Kangerdlugsuak and stretching about 30 miles inland. No survey was made of the western limits of the mountains and there were no astronomically fixed points for an aerial survey except those on the coast
