Brief Description (Abstract):

Being the national mapping agency of India, Survey of India has the mandate to provide the map on Antarctica region. Since 10th Expedition to Antarctica (1991-92), Survey of India has been taking part actively in scientific activity/map mapping of unique terrain. During the first few expeditions the horizontal and vertical control was provided to establish the datum for future mapping needs. In the successive expeditions, mapping on scale 1:5,000 with contour interval 5 m and scale 1:1,000 with contour interval 1 m has been taken up.


Status: Completed

Purpose: 1. Establishment of horizontal and vertical reference frame for detail mapping and scientific activities. 2. Large scale mapping of the Schirmarcher Oasis on scale 15,000 with contour interval of 5 meters 3. Establishment of relative gravity network of 1 km. mesh at Schirmarcher Oasis, connecting all GPS stations. 4. Preparation of different gravity anomaly maps of the Schirmarcher Oasis region in Antarctica on 15,000 scale with contour interval of 1mgal. 5. To monitor the plate movement of the continent with respect to Indian plate. 6. Studies for neo-tectonic activities of the Antarctica region. 7. Large scale mapping of Larsemann Hills on scale 15,000 with contour interval of 5 meters.
