Abstract

With the support of the Chilean Antarctic Institute (1.N.A.Ch.) the galactic and the solar cosmic-ray radiation will be monitored during the early nineties on King George Island. The continuous registrations of a 6 - NM - 64 detector will be used to investigate solar-terrestrial relationships. The instrument has been placed in January 1991 on a hill near the old meteorological center 'E. Frei' and about 400 m from 'Las Estrellas' village (Tte. Marsh Base - Caleta Ardley - Fildes Bay). General features connected with the installation of the monitor and initial measurements are described.
