Geodetic networks are very important in analyses of long-term monitoring deformation of natural objects in polar regions. The ground stability of geodetic reference points can give the quality of the results of geometry measures. Well measures give the purpose to environmental protection of measured natural objects (moraines, talus slopes, debris etc.). The main objective of this paper is to compare the adjustment of the geodetic network by the Least Square Method based on one (ASTRO) or two (ASTRO and NYA1) reference points with full rank and robust adjustment. The main adjustment steps with important numerical results are presented for both methods. The method how to detect the presence of the used wrong approximate coordinates of network points is addressed, and the detection approaches are given for both adjustment procedures. The results of both adjustment procedures summarized in the Conclusion indicate that the combination of these procedures is not suitable way of detecting errors in a geodetic network.
