I—Special Problems in Polar Regions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 January 2010
Extract
The three basic problems of navigation are determination of position, definition of direction, and steering the direction required. In polar regions, all these problems are affected either by the high latitude, or by the polar climate, or by both. In this paper the various problems which arise are reviewed, possible solutions are discussed, and it is indicated where further research and experiment might be desirable.
