An Overview of the 28th Indian Antarctic Expeditionv
viPradip MalhotraMonaco, July 19th 2017The situation in Antarctica is a reflection of the situation of our planet.It is a cause for weighty concern when we look at the threats facing it, thecomplexity of the factors at work and humankind's difficulties in takingaction. But it also offers hope, and is full of marvelous promise.The scientific cooperation taking place in Antarctica, particularly as aresult of the 1959 Antarctic Treaty and the Madrid Protocol adopted tosupplement this in 1991, gives us one of the finest proofs of people’sability to move forward together, when they are acting in mutual accordand in the name of shared ideals.That is what I was able to observe during my trip to Antarctica in 2009,during which I visited in particular the Indian research station Maitri, in thecompany of Dr. Pradip Malhotra and his teams.The outstanding work they are carrying out, in particularly difficultconditions, should be a source of inspiration to us all. It should guide usin our struggles to protect our planet and the Polar Regions that are undersuch threat.I am delighted that this book will contribute to spreading the word, andwill help everyone to understand the importance and the need to safeguard the Poles.
