As a member of the 7th Danish Peary Land Expedition in the summer of 1970 led by Count Eigil Knuth, the author had the opportunity to study a section through the Precambrian, Eocambrian and Lower Cambrian strata along the south-eastern shore of Heilprin Land (fig. 2). The main purpose was to examine the Precambrian Midsommersø dolerites (see below), and also to map the sedimentary formations of the area. This report describes the results of the mapping.

Sections and fossil collections resulting from activities under Operation Grant Land 1965-66 in the Hall Land - Wulff Land region of western North Greenland are briefly discussed. Strongly tectonised Lower Cambrian to Silurian strata are present in the northern part of the area in association with the Wulff Land anticline and the Nyeboe Land fault zone. To the south, platform and deep-water trough sequences are generally little disturbed and strata range in age from Middle Ordovician to Late Silurian (Pridoli). Most stratigraphic units can be accommodated in stratigraphic schemes established in Washington Land, to the west, or Peary Land, to the east.

In the paper, we discuss a very complex and contestable idea, proposed and developed by us already for several years, about strengthening the uneasy political, economic, social, cultural and most significantly – security relationships between the three South Caucasian countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, towards forming new geopolitical centre in the south-eastern shore of the Black Sea, or more precisely, just in the middle of the Black and Caspian Seas; in one of the most important and complicated regions in the world. The South Caucasian Union (SCU) concept has quite reasonable historical roots and although not successful enough until now, however certain examples, which could serve as preconditions, whether predispositions more: the existence of the Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic (TDFR) (22 April-28 May 1918) and even the Transcaucasian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic (Transcaucasian SFSR or TSFSR) (1922-1936). Along with the corresponding consideration of the region’s hardest internal conflicts, at the same time globally so meaningful, and especially almost the dilemmatic dispute of Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh (NK), but not limited to, we have drawn some feasible conflict-resolution scenarios under the effective SCU model, which ensuring first of all security or in particular, protection of independence and sovereignty of the South Caucasian states as their basic interests, is to logically counterweight any threats coming from bigger, more powerful and ambitious regional competitors, whether dominants and due to evident aggression, from – Russia, in specific.

The paper presents selected targets from the south-eastern part of the Holy Cross Mountains, in the Opatów and Staszów area, which could be geotourist attractions. These are the deposits of Middle Devonian limestones and dolomites, Lower Cambrian quartz sandstones, Miocene detrital limestones from the Smerdyna area, as well as the Krzyżtopór Castle in Ujazd. The paper shows the geological diversity and a high geotourist potential of the discussed area.
