Geomorphological sketch map of the Mount Dickason area (Victoria Land, Antarctica) mapped by aerial photographs

Abstract

This short note illustrates the results of some investigations carried out using aerial photographs and satellite images and aimed at the compilation of thematic maps at different scales of Victoria Land (Antarctica). In particular, a geomorphological map at a scale of 1:50,000 of a 900 km² area including Mount Dickason has been drawn. The map, in this article at a scale of 1:80,000 and simplified, was produced in the framework of a cartographic project of the National Program for Antarctic Research, aimed at the compilation of a 1:250,000 geomorphological map series of Victoria Land.
