Photographs of the white-light solar corona were obtained during the total solar eclipse of June 30, 1973 in two orthogonal components of polarization. The total intensity and fraction of polarization of the white-light corona were determined by means of a photographic method and also by a numerical method of reduction of the plates with a computer-controlled microdensitometer. The simple and quick photographic method provided results which were in very good agreement with the numerical ones. A procedure is described which permits the total intensity and fraction of polarization of the K corona alone to be computed and mapped, and a model for the transpolar coronal hole is deduced.
