           TUGTUP & TUNULLIARFIK  
   
  Classic tugtupite specimen characteristic of Tunulliarfik. Shown under shortwave ultraviolet. Width 12 cm.  
     

White blocks of naujaite entrained in a dark laminated lujavrite, at Tugtup agtākorfia.
     
   
  Viewed end-on, just left of center in this photo, is the vertical
vein of albitite in naujaite which hosted the original find of tugtupite.
 
     
   
  Another view along the strike of this famous albitite vein.

  Hiking high above Tugtup, Don pauses for a rest. Tunulliarfik fjord.. and rain.. beyond.  
     
   
  In the cold gray drizzle, this will be my overnight bivouac site. An orange flag from Howie's work remains.  
     
   
  A welcome sight. Peter and Harry arriving two hours early this chilly morning to retrieve us. Hallelujah!
