Land Area is Unknown Fixing the depth of, the Greenland Ice cap at 8,860 feet, as the German scientific group recently did by sonic depth soundings, hassolved a puzzle which has perplexed investigators //ince the earliest days of Arctic ex- ploration, writes Russell Owen, in the N.Y. Times. Greenland has turned out to be a rim of mountains encircling a bowl of ice. It is an anachronism, a survival of the Ice Age relatively close to civilization. The known geology of Greenland has always been meager, as is natural in a country of which only one-sixth is not covered by ice. It is a much larger land than is usually realized, the coast which are of value. for it covers an area of 827,000 square i The most important mineral in Greenland, however, is cryolite; the ' mine at Ivigtut is not only one of the `most northerly mines in the world but i also the only place at which cryolite occurs in commercial quantity.
