Brief Description (Abstract):

In order to assess the feasibility of carrying out the underwater geophysical survey in Antarctic lakes, a pilot study of the bathymetric survey in Priyadarshini Lake was launched using ?HydroBox?-a portable high resolution shallow water echo sounder, during the Silver Jubilee Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica (2005-2006). Shoreline demarcation of Priyadarshini lake was carried out by fixing a total of 104 closely spaced geodetic positions using Global Positioning System (GPS) while moving on the lake shoreline. Bathymetry survey of the lake along 1800 line meter was carried out and the data in digital and analogue forms were recorded.

Status: Completed

Purpose: As a beginning, the bathymetry survey was undertaken to determine water depth and sea floor topography to help define morphology of the lake floor.
