Bharti: India's worst kept secret about Antarctica space research station
New Delhi: An inquiry has been ordered by the government into the shutdown of ISRO activities at the Indian Research Station in Antarctica allegedly due to lack of fuel at the remote site and clashes
The natural topography is a rocky granite hill towering approximately 90 meters above sea level.
The sitting and placement of the new research station was based on a location that would minimise the amount of snow drifting, minimise the need for extensive site modification and provide the best access to the sea and sea ice.
Australia, Asia, Africa, South America and India were once part of a super-continent called Gondwanaland where the present day east coast of India shared a common border with the eastern shores of Antarctica.
