120.00

Dakshin Gangotri was established during the third Indian expedition to Antarctica in 1983-84. It served as a vital base for scientific research and exploration until it was eventually buried under snow and ice, leading to the establishment of a new base, Maitri, in 1989. The post office at Dakshin Gangotri, inaugurated on February 24, 1984, played a crucial role in facilitating communication and logistics for the Indian expeditions. The First Day Cover issued on July 11, 1989, celebrating the second anniversary of the post office at Dakshin Gangotri, is more than just a philatelic item. It is a piece of history that commemorates India’s pioneering efforts in Antarctica, highlighting the importance of international scientific collaboration and the spirit of exploration. Collectors and enthusiasts cherish this FDC not only for its aesthetic and historical value but also for its representation of human curiosity and the quest for knowledge in one of the most challenging environments on Earth.
