Brief Description (Abstract):

Environmental danger to Priyadarshini lake by the continuous flow of liquid waste materials into it from Indian summer camp necessitates the establishment of an alternative summer camp set-up in a location such that it does not allow flow of seepage into the lake. In addition, environmental concerns of DOD and the appreciable development in the scientific activities during earlier Indian Scientific Expeditions to Antarctica necessitated the provision of geodetic and geophysical control points around Indian Station, Maitri. As a follow up, action a two member Survey Of India team participated in the 16th Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica to carry out field survey for preparation of a site plan for new location of the summer camp on 1:1,000 scale with one metre contour interval.

Status: Completed

Purpose: a) Extension of planimetric and height control to the new site for an alternative summer camp set-up in the vicinity of Indian Station, Maitri. b) Densification of the control at the above mentioned site. c) Preparation of a detailed contour map of the new site on 11,000 scale with one metre contour interval.
