Dakshin Gangotri, Indian research station in Antarctica.
The scientific base consists of two double-storey blocks connected by a corridor, containing laboratories, living quarters, and storage facilities for polar expeditions.
Established in 1983 during India's third Antarctic expedition, Dakshin Gangotri operated until 1990 when ice accumulation forced its decommissioning.
The station's name connects to Indian heritage, referencing the Gangotri glacier in the Himalayas while 'Dakshin' means south in Sanskrit.
The facility operated entirely on solar power and included specialized laboratories for studying oceanography, geology, and atmospheric conditions in Antarctica.
After its decommission, the station transformed into a supply base, maintaining its role in supporting Antarctic research missions.
