The EMILIE experiment was designed for ground based photometry of the galactic diffuse emission in the submillimeter range.The regions of the galaxy visible from the south hemisphere were observed from the geographic South Pole during the Austral summer 1984-1985. The quality of this site for submillimeter astronomy is confirmed. New measurements of the emission at 900 microns are obtained between the galactic longitudes 330 deg and 6 deg. A better reference level for the emission is determined, leading to a width at half maximum of the galactic latitude profile close to 1 deg. This value is compared to those obtained at other wavelegths and confirms the measurements in the submillimeter range as good indicators of the mass interstellar matter.
