''Sisimiut'' literally means "the residents at the foxholes" (). The site has been inhabited for the last 4,500 years, first by peoples of the Saqqaq culture, then Dorset culture, and then the Thule people, whose Inuit descendants form the majority of the current population.

Akia Terrane
The Akia terrane is a tectonostratigraphic terrane located in the North Atlantic craton, North Atlantic Craton in southern West Greenland. The Akia terrane is bounded to the Southeast by the Eoarchean, Eo- to Neoarchean, Neo-archaean tectonostratigraphic terranes of the Nuuk region, and to the North by the recently recognised Alanngua Complex, which separates the Akia terrane from the Neoarchaean Tuno terrane. The crust in the Akia terrane formed in two major pulses. The first at ~3.2 Ga, predominantly comprises dioritic gneisses, whereas the second, at ~3.0 Ga comprises a more diverse mix of Tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite, TTG and Diorite, dioritic gneisses with enclaves of Supracrustal rock, supracrustal rocks and mafic-ultramafic Intrusive rock, intrusions. Supracrustal rocks are largely tholeiitic and calc-alkaline Amphibolite, amphibolites formed at ~3.07 Ga. The mafic-ultramafic intrusions include peridotite cumulates and a belt of noritic intrusions formed at the same time ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
