The results of engineering surveys in the area of the Mirny and Progress stations and fi eld base Molodyozhnaya are discussed in the paper. During the austral summer fi eld season of the 62nd RAE (2016/17) wide complex of the scientifi c and applied research has been carried out. It included the engineering, aerial photography, glaciological, drilling, geodetic and GPR investigations to ensure the safety of transport operations in the area of Russian stations Mirny and Progress (East Antarctica).
