I found these foot prints one day while I was stationed at Indian Antarctic Station. It was almost Summer-Winter transition then.

I followed these foot prints for 1400 meters and in midst of little rocks I found a guest.

We named him Maruti. He spent 13 days on the Island and on the 14th day this happened (2/3) Image

HOT UPDATE : ISRO released almost all it's datasets for FREE - for everyone. INDIA now has one of the most progressive & high resolution datasets available for free for it's users.

The 5 meter datasets are from our Indian satellites Resourcesat-2/2A. ( 2/n ) Image
