    Question

    Which of the following is an Indian research center in

    Antarctica?
    A Hemadri Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Himalayas Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C South Gangotri Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Yamunotri Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    South Gangotri" is the only one that has been associated with Indian Antarctic research, but it's important to note that it is not currently active. South Gangotri was India's first research station established in Antarctica in 1984 but was decommissioned in 1990-1991 when it was buried in ice. It served as a supply base and a transit camp after being replaced by the Maitri station. The names Hemadri, Himalayas, and Yamunotri do not correspond to any Indian research stations in Antarctica. The correct names of the active Indian research stations in Antarctica are Maitri and Bharati, as I mentioned earlier.
