Tephra from the project “Concentration of meteorites: identification, collection, study"

During the XIII Italian Antarctic expedition (1997/98), 5 tephra layers have been sampled within the aim of the project "Concentration of meteorites: identification, collection, study" in northern Victoria Land. The investigated region is within Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1 USGS sheet.

Tephra from the project “Antarctic meteorites" (PNRA 2002/5.4)

During the XIX Italian Antarctic expedition (2003/04), one tephra layer has been sampled within the aim of the project "Antarctic meteorites" in northern Victoria Land. The investigated region is within Welcome Mountain SS 55-57/4 USGS sheet.

ACHONDRITE - IRON METEORITES

This dataset includes all the iron meteorites (achondrites) collected during the Italian Antarctic Expeditions since 1991 in Victoria Land and now preserved at the repository of the Museo Nazionale dell’Antartide.

MALOX - Geodetic Observatory - GNSS permanent station LRSN

The Geodetic Observatory is based on continuous measurements of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) data for the characterization of the neo-tectonics of a large area of the Northern Victoria Land. Particularly for the definition of a three-dimensional reference (plano-altimetric), and tidal waves, for the definition of a local and global absolute altimetric reference model. The permanent GNSS station 'LRSN', has been set on Mount Larsen (74° 57' 02,0" S - 161° 46' 10,1" E), 948 m a.s.l during the antarctic campaign 2015 - 2016. LRSN records data of GPS and GLONASS constellations, with an acquisition interval equal to 30 s. It is equipped with Tocpon Net-G3 GNSS receivers and chokering antennas, Topcon CR-G5 model (radome TPSH ), installed on steel pillars.

PRIMITIVE ACHONDRITE - ACAPULCOITE

This dataset includes all the acapulcoite meteorites (primitive achondrites) collected during the Italian Antarctic Expeditions since 1994 in Victoria Land and now preserved at the repository of the Museo Nazionale dell’Antartide.

MALOX - Geodetic Observatory - GNSS permanent station INXP

The Geodetic Observatory is based on continuous measurements of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) data for the characterization of the neo-tectonics of a large area of the Northern Victoria Land. Particularly for the definition of a three-dimensional reference (plano-altimetric), and tidal waves, for the definition of a local and global absolute altimetric reference model. The permanent GNSS station 'INXP', has been set on Inexpressible Island (74° 56' 55,1" S - 163° 41' 06,3" E), 32 m a.s.l. during the antarctic campaign 2015 - 2016. INXP records data of GPS and GLONASS constellations, with an acquisition interval equal to 30 s. It is equipped with Tocpon Net-G3 GNSS receivers and chokering antennas, Topcon CR-G5 model (radome TPSH ), installed on steel pillars.
