Abstract
Vikingebugt is the largest of a series of small inlets in the broad outer portion of the Scoresby Sund fjord system in central East Greenland (Fig. 1). It measures 14 km from head to mouth and is c. 6 km wide. A medium-sized glacier, Bredegletscher, drains from a small ice cap into the head of the inlet. A small grid of high-resolution seismic reflection profiles was acquired by RV Polarstern in the summer of 1990. Relevant acquisition and processing parameters of this data set are listed in Table 1.
