INDIA | Bharati – Indian Antarctic Station
Bharati is India’s third and most advanced permanent research station in Antarctica. Commissioned in March 2012, it was designed to supplement the aging Maitri station and specifically focus on oceanographic and geological research. As of 2026, Bharati remains fully operational and is the primary hub for India’s high-tech polar research during the 45th Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica (ISEA).
Location and Design
- Region : Larsemann Hills, Prydz Bay, East Antarctica.
- Coordinates : 69°24.41’S, 76°11.72’E$.
- Unique Construction : The station is built using 134 shipping containers interlocked to create a compact, energy-efficient structure with a “small footprint” to minimize environmental impact.
- Distance from Maitri : Approximately 3,000 km to the east.
Capabilities and Infrastructure
Unlike the older stations, Bharati was built with a focus on self-sufficiency and modern living in extreme conditions.
- Occupancy : 47 personnel (year-round); up to 72 in summer.
- Laboratories : Dedicated labs for Biology, Earth Sciences, and Chemical Sciences.
- Connectivity : High-speed satellite link for real-time data transfer and video conferencing with India.
- Comforts : Includes a sauna, automated heating/AC, and aesthetically designed living quarters.
- Status : Fully Operational; serving as a key site for the 45th ISEA (2025–2026).

INDIA | Maitri – Indian Antarctic Station
Maitri is India’s second permanent research station in Antarctica, serving as the cornerstone of the Indian Antarctic Programme since the late 1980s. As of 2026, the station remains operational but is transitioning into a new era as the Indian government has officially approved its successor, Maitri-II.
- Region : Schirmacher Oasis, Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica.
- Coordinates : 70°46’S, 11°43’E.
- Terrain : It is built on an ice-free, rocky plateau, which makes it more stable than India’s first station, Dakshin Gangotri (now submerged in ice).
- Freshwater Source : The station is located beside Lake Priyadarshini, a freshwater lake created/identified by the Indian team.
Current Infrastructure
- Established : 1989.
- Capacity : Accommodates ~25 people in winter and up to 40–60 during the summer.
- Facilities : Includes a main building, fuel farm, pump house, and specialized laboratories for biology, earth sciences, and glaciology.
- Operational Status : Currently active, but many components have outlived their original 10-year design life, leading to the push for a replacement.
