Brief Description (Abstract):

After providing the Geodetic and Geophysical control in the Schirmucher Oasis, Survey of India has started large scale mapping in the Antarctica. The paper describes how the precise ground control network was formed which is a prerequisite for the desired large scale surveys, and the various steps involved in the detail and contour (i.e. original plane tabling) survey on 1:1,000 scale with 1 m contour interval for an area of 400 m ? 500 m located NW of Maitri. This mapping was specially done for extension of our permanent station in the Antarctica. Digital map of this area was made successfully after this fieldwork and given to concerned authorities.

Status: Completed

Purpose: The developments clue to the scientific activities carried out during the first nine expeditions necessitated the provision of Geographical control and mapping in the surrounding of Indian station Maitri. Survey of India, being the national survey and mapping organization was naturally identified by the Department of Ocean Development for carrying out mapping task and is thus associated with the Indian Antarctic Program since the 10th expedition. During the previous expeditions, SOI had provided the Geodetic and Geophysical control in the Schirmucher Oasis by both astronomical and state-of-the-art GPS observations. After that SOI had carried out original plane table surveys on 150,000 scale with 5 m contour interval and prepared detailed contoured map of Indian Antarctic station and its surroundings.
