Abstract
Black Island sits off the Ross Ice Shelf, and the ground-station antennas there had to be surveyed in sub-freezing conditions. David Svesko covers the background to the work and the theory behind it, then the practical questions that dominate a job like this one: which cameras and targets survive the cold, what the software has to tolerate, and the technique that emerged from working with both. Presented 19 July 2006, with the field notes and photographs of an Antarctic season alongside the metrology.
