About the Book

Antarctica: India's Journey to the Frozen Continent is a remarkable journey into one of the Earth's last great wildernesses. Once covered in lush evergreen forests and abundant with diverse flora and fauna, Antarctica now stands as a white desert, characterized by extreme cold, dryness, and blizzard-like storms. The continent holds nearly 90% of the world's freshwater in the form of ice, and if this ice were to melt, it could dramatically raise the global sea levels.

This book provides a fascinating account of India's scientific journey to Antarctica. It details the origin of India's Antarctic mission, chronicling the challenges, the drive for knowledge, and the aspirations to uncover the continent’s mysteries. The book also provides the first-hand experiences of two individuals: a leader who founded India's Antarctic program and a research scholar who embarked on his first journey to this distant, isolated land.

The text explores the geographical, environmental, and scientific importance of Antarctica, while also narrating the story of India’s quest to establish its scientific presence on the continent. Through vivid storytelling, the book not only captures the beauty and enigma of Antarctica but also showcases India's scientific capabilities in the global arena.
