Eclogite, gamet clinopyroxenite, gamet websterite and websterite bodies were discovered within the Skærfjorden gneiss complex during recent mapping in North-East Greenland. These eclogitic pods extend from Danmarkshavn (c. 76° 40'N) to the northern limit of the area mapped (78°N), and attest to widespread high-pressure metamorphism. Eclogites with the assemblage omphacite + garnet ± quartz ± futile are common. The protoliths of some of the eclogites were xenoliths within the precursor batholiths to the gneisses. Field relations, regional correlations and preliminary geochronology indicate that the eclogite facies metamorphism is Caledonian. The eclogites formed at minimum pressures between 10-15 kilobars and temperatures between 600–900°C, and hence are the medium-temperature type typically formed in over-thickened crust during continent collision.
