CREATION OF THE GEOLOGICAL VIRTUAL GOVORUHA DOME OUTCROP (GALINDEZ ISLAND, WESTERN ANTARTICA)

In this work, we present the results of ground-based photogrammetric surveying of Govoruha Dome outcrop in Antarctica and their practical use in structural geology. We have developed a workflow for collection, processing and presentation of structural features in an outcrops. We use the results of the photogrammetric surveying for the creation of the 3D model that is used for geological purposes. 3D model is used for the extraction of the planes approximating joint orientations on the outcrop. Advantage and disadvantage of using this novel technology are discussed. The advantages of this approach include the speed of obtaining information, its accuracy and quality. Among disadvantage we outline the difficulty of climate conditions for the geodetic equipment.
