|
| Accommodation: |

inns and shared rooms in 2-3 star hotels. |
| Transport: |
By
bus |
| Itinerary: |
The
Hidaka Metamorphic Belt consists of steeply eastward
dipping thrust sheets composed of pelitic-psammitic and
mafic metamorphic rocks and various plutonic rocks of
Eocene to early Miocene ages. Igneous rocks are layered
gabbros, gabbros-diorites, and S- and Itype tonalite-granodiorite.
Metamorphism in the Hidaka Metamorphic Belt increases
from prehnite-pumpellyite grade in the east through greenschist
and amphibolite facies to the granulite facies in the
west. We can observe the layered olivine gabbro complex,
which may be the heat source of the metamorphism, the
anatectic rocks in the lowest structural levels, and
S- and I-type granitic rocks in the middle horizontal
level in the Hidaka metamorphic belt. The fresh peridotite
(plagioclase and spinel lherzolites and harzburgites)
complex situated in the lowest structural level of the
belt will be visited. The above will make up the first
3 days of the trip. The next two days will be spent visiting
the Kamuikotan Metamorphic Belt, which consists of the
subduction-related high-pressure type metamorphic rocks
and a low-pressure type ophiolite complex. We can observe
the beautiful blueschits and still preserved pillow structure
in the meta-volcanic rocks, and layered gabbro as the
lower sequence of the ophiolite complex. Another highlight
is a day trip to an active volcano. The highest point
of this trip is approximately 2000 m. We will walk along
a river to visit the locations of the pelitic granulite
and anatexite. We recommend that participants bring trekking
boots and warm clothes. The trip will end at Sapporo
with a farewell beer party on Friday evening. |
