Brief Description (Abstract):

The Survey of India has been associated with the Indian Antarctic Research Programme since X Expedition to carry out surveying and mapping in Antarctica. During X Expedition Geodetic control points had been established in Schirmacher Oasis. In XI & XII Expedition the original plane table (PI) survey work had been carried out on 1:5,000 scale with 5 m contour interval using the control points established by the SOI team of X Expedition. During these two Expeditions, an area of 3.2 sq. km. was covered by survey teams. From XIII Expedition onwards (except XVII) SOI teams have been doing original P.T. survey on 1: 5,000 scale with 1 m contour interval.

Status: Completed

Purpose: Preparing a large scale map on scale 1 5,000 in the adjacent to the area surveyed during XI Expedition on the same scale. We set the goal of 2.25 sq. km area. But provided the control points for 3.0 sq. km. by E.D.M, keeping provision to extend the survey in case weather permits. Finally, in addition to target of 2.25 sq. km. we could cover another 0.25 sq. km of area. So the total area covered was 2.50 sq. km.
