Prior to 1800, William Lambton conceived the notion of measuring an arc of longitude the length of the Indian Subcontinent, thus paving the way towards the accurate measurement of India and the implementation of new governmental infrastructure. The Great Indian Arc of the Meridian, as it became known, was a project that claimed more lives and delivered more hardship than most wars at the time. Researchers dragged their half-ton collection of instruments up mountains and across plains and jungles, enduring bandits, tigers, malaria and scorpions amongst other woes. Although started under Lambton, the project was concluded by George Everest after whom the world's tallest mountain is named. At the end of the day, at the cost of a bewildering number of lives, the Great Arc not only allowed India to be accurately mapped, but it paved the way for the complete mapping of the Himalayas and gave science its first intimations as to the true shape of the Earth.
