As mentioned in subsection 4.2.5, Channel body 10 is found on both sides of <strong>the</strong> isl<strong>and</strong>. On<strong>the</strong> western side of <strong>the</strong> isl<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> top of channel body 10 was calculated to be 130 meters from<strong>the</strong> base of Hopen member. The distance from top of what is <strong>interpret</strong>ed as Channel body 11to <strong>the</strong> top of Channel body 10 on <strong>the</strong> eastern side, is about 70 meters. Assuming <strong>the</strong> samedistances from top of Channel body 10 <strong>and</strong> base of Hopen member on <strong>the</strong> eastern side,Channel body 11 is situated approximately 200 meters below <strong>the</strong> Hopen member. That meansthat channel body 11 is <strong>the</strong> lowermost channel body described4.2.7 Channel body 12 (Western side of Kollerfjellet)The overview photo (Figure 4.22A <strong>and</strong> B) referred to in this subsection is displayed insubsection 4.2.5, Channel body 10, as both of <strong>the</strong>se channel bodies are situated in <strong>the</strong> samearea.Channel body 12 is situated approximately 42 meters above sea level on <strong>the</strong> western side ofKollerfjellet. On <strong>the</strong> eastern side of <strong>the</strong> mountain <strong>the</strong> channel body is not found. The top ofChannel body 12 is situated about 179 meters below Hopen member. The channel body isfound to be about 20 meters thick, but <strong>the</strong> width is difficult to estimate as <strong>the</strong> pinch out to <strong>the</strong>NE is disturbed by a displacing fault (Figure 4.22). However, assuming that <strong>the</strong> greys<strong>and</strong>stone unit sticking out at sea level (Figure 4.22) represents <strong>the</strong> same channel body, <strong>the</strong>width is estimated to be approximately 917 meters. Channel body 12 is displaced by twofaults. The fault fur<strong>the</strong>st to <strong>the</strong> south displaces <strong>the</strong> channel body with about 11 meters, while<strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r one (fur<strong>the</strong>r to <strong>the</strong> north in Figure 4.22) has a displacement of about 40 meters. Thedisplacement of <strong>the</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>rn fault assumes that <strong>the</strong> grey s<strong>and</strong>stone unit sticking out at sealevel is part of <strong>the</strong> channel body. On this channel body one can see a pinch out (Figure 4.25)towards <strong>the</strong> SW. The channel body is covered by a lot of vegetation, making it difficult to<strong>interpret</strong> <strong>the</strong> internal <strong>geometry</strong> of <strong>the</strong> channel body.(1) DiscussionAs described in subsection 4.2.6, Channel body 12 on <strong>the</strong> western side is most likely not <strong>the</strong>same as Channel body 11 on <strong>the</strong> eastern side of <strong>the</strong> isl<strong>and</strong>. Never <strong>the</strong> less this channel bodyshould have been possible to see on one of <strong>the</strong> logged section on <strong>the</strong> eastern side of <strong>the</strong>mountain (Hopen radio nord <strong>and</strong> Gåsskaret in Appendix 1) if channel bodies 10 <strong>and</strong> 12 hadmore or less <strong>the</strong> same direction. Unfortunately it is not possible to see any channel body70
