Brief Description (Abstract):

Survey of India team carried out large scale mapping on 1:10,000 scale in selected parts of Schirmacher Oasis, with contour interval of 10m. In Larsemann Hills area, large scale mapping on 1:1,000 scale was done at the site selected for the new Indian Antarctic Station, Bharati. The contour interval for this mapping was 1 m. Also, a seven-day continuous GPS observation campaign was taken up to study the inter-plate movement between India and Antarctica.

Status: Completed

Purpose: In Larsemann Hills, the objective was to carry out large scale survey of the proposed new station site in Bharati Island on scale 11,000, with contour interval of 1 m. Similarly, the project of Survey of India in Larsemann Hills was to carry out the large scale survey of the proposed new station site to be called Bhartiya in Larsemann hills region on scale 11,000 with contour interval 1 m and to prepare a map of the station site area.
