Abstract
This article outlines some of the survey work undertaken during the International Karakoram Project from June to September 1980, and it is hoped that its contents will, in part, complement Bomford's reminiscences on geodetic survey in India which appear elsewhere in this issue. It is entirely appropriate that this anniversary number of Survey Review should contain personal recollections of the remarkable achievements of the Survey of India during the time that Empire Survey Review was born and in its infancy. In an effort to justify the inclusion of this companion description, the choice of title may be misleading. The survey cannot be termed geodetic: changes in the international boundaries now place our area of interest in Pakistan; and the timing implied in the title is not strictly correct. The following few paragraphs endeavour to explain the liberties taken with the title and, in a small way, to compare conditions and techniques then and now. The text is necessarily descriptive because, at the time of writing, our observations have not been calculated.
