Polish Antarctic Expedition

The Polish Antarctic Expedition to the A. B. Dobrowolski Polar Station was conducted by a team of doctors, geophysicists, and geomorphologists between 1978-1979. It was sponsored by the Polish Academy of Sciences.[1] This was the third expedition organised by the Polish Academy of Sciences, and included establishing a geodetic network in the Bunger Oasis, setting up an astronomical reference point, magnetic observations, and photogrammetric surveys to make maps of the vicinity of the station.[2]

Geodetic Network

A geodetic network was established in the Bunger Oasis by Dr. A. Pachuta and Dr. J. Cisak, using theodolites Wild T2 and distancemeters Zeiss EOK, and consisted of 26 points.[3]

gollark: We have just endured the horrible agonies of MULTIPLE hours with broken internet connectivity.
gollark: I don't really do "outside" myself, so it would be hypocritical to tell people to go there, and I am nothing if not hypocritical.
gollark: No, I mean it's generally rainy there.
gollark: Assuming traditional British weather, simply go outdoors.
gollark: That's birds, silly.
