Description

The Struve Geodetic Arc, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that spans ten countries, is a testament to the scientific contributions of Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve and his groundbreaking work in geodesy. SayPro proudly celebrates this transnational heritage for its historical significance and its role in advancing our understanding of Earth’s shape and size.
Struve’s surveying work, conducted in the 19th century, led to the accurate measurement of the Earth’s circumference and provided essential data for navigation and cartography. The arc consists of a chain of survey triangulations that extend for 2,820 kilometers, from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea coast in Ukraine.
SayPro acknowledges Estonia’s involvement in preserving this scientific legacy and its commitment to making it accessible to the world. By supporting responsible tourism and educational initiatives, we can help ensure that the Struve Geodetic Arc continues to inspire awe and appreciation for scientific exploration. This heritage invites us to trace the footsteps of Struve and appreciate the ever-evolving quest for knowledge about our planet.
