अंटार्क टिका, रहस्य और चमत्कार की भूमि, पृथ्वी का आखिरी महान जंगल है। पचास लाख साल पहले, यह कई प्रकार केजानवरों और पौधों के साथ सदाबहार जंगल था। आज, महाद्वीप एक सफेद रेगिस्तान है और दुनिया में सबसे ठंडा, सबसे शुष्क, तूफानी, हवादार और सबसे अधिक पहुंचने योग्य स्थान माना जाता है। यह चरम सीमा का एक महाद्वीप है। निरंतर दिन के लगभग छह महीने, निरंतर रात के छह महीने, सबसे कम तापमान -89.60 डिग्री सेल्सियस, और हवाएं जो बर्फबारी के दौरान प्रति घंटे 190 किमी प्रति घंटा तक पहुंचती हैं, इस महाद्वीप को एक अद्वितीय स्थान बनाती हैं। इस नो-मैन के महाद्वीप में बर्फ के रूप में दुनिया के ताजे पानी के जमा का लगभग 90 प्रतिशत हिस्सा है। यदि बर्फ पिघलने की अनुमति है, तो पृथ्वी का समुद्र-स्तर कई मीटर तक बढ़ जाएगा जिससे पृथ्वी का एक बड़ा हिस्सा जलमग्न हो जाएगा। इस दूरस्थ, पृथक और चरम महाद्वीप की भारत की यात्रा ज्ञान की खोज में और इसके रहस्य को सुलझान की इच्छा के साथ शुरू हुई। अंटार्क टिका: जमे हुए महाद्वीप की भारत की यात्रा एक यात्रा, एक मिशन, एक पहल, एक चुनौती, एक रोमांच, एक सपना, और अंत में, दुनिया में भारत की वैज्ञानिक क्षमता स्थापित करने के बारे में है। यह पुस्तक न के वल इस रहस्यमय महाद्वीप की सुदरता औरभारत के अंटार्क टिक उद्यम की उत्पत्ति का वर्णन करती है बल्कि हमें दो अलग-अलग व्यक्तियों के पहले हाथों के अनुभवों का भी विवरण देती है: एक-एक नेता और भारत के अंटार्क टिक कार्यक्रम के संस्थापक और दूसरा, एक शोध विद्वान जिन्होंने इस महाद्वीप में अपनी पहली यात्रा की।Antarctica, a land of mystery and wonders, is the earthly last great wilderness. Fifty million years back, it had Evergreen forests with many types of animals and plants. Today, the continent is a white desert and known to be the coldest, driest, stormiest, windiest and the most inaccessible place in the world. A continent of extremes with nearly six months of continuous day and about six months of continuous night, the lowest temperature of -89.6 degree C and wind speeds up to 190 km per hour during blizzards make this continent a unique place on Earth. This no-man’s continent has nearly 90 percent of the world’s freshwater Deposit in the form of Ice. If the ice is allowed to melt, the earthly sea level will rise by several metres thus submerging a major part of the Earth under water. India’s journey to this remote, isolated and extreme continent began in search of knowledge and for Unravelling its mystery. Antarctica: India’s journey to the frozen continent is about a journey, a mission, an initiative, a challenge, an adventure, a dream and finally establishing the scientific capability of India in the world. This book not only describes the beauty of this enigmatic continent and origin of India’s Antarctic venture but also gives a first-hand experience of two different persons: One, a leader and the founder of India’s Antarctic programme and the other, a research scholar who undertook his maiden journey to this continent.
