All the seven continents we have learnt about in Geography was one big land mass that eventually separated from each other over a period of millions of years and floated apart to look like what we see in the atlas, or Google Maps, today. From that supercontinent- Pangaea, there was a huge piece that drifted south and became what we now know as Antarctica. Antarctica's unique geological conditions make it a much coveted place of research and study. And this is why many countries have set up research stations to study what the continent has in store for them. India is one such. In fact, India with its two research stations-Maitri and Bharathi-joins the small and exclusive group of nine countries which have multiple bases in Antarctica.
