Terra Nova Bay GPS permanent station
During the IV Italian expedition in Antarctica, the geodetic activity started with the installation of the geodetic network in the area of Terra Nova Bay. The network was established in order to provide a common reference frame to several scientific activities (photogrammetry, cartography, geology)...
