An Al-rich Warwickite is reported from an ultramafic rock located in the center of Inglefield Land.
The exposure is several tens of metres wide and consists of a light-coloured medium- grained rock with abundant cm-sized black patches. Magnetite-rich bands up to tens of centimetres thick locally occur. The rock has been deformed and metamorphosed under amphibolite facies conditions.
