Antarctica, the southernmost continent on Earth, is a harsh and remote place with an extreme climate. Despite its challenges, the continent has become a significant site for scientific research, particularly in the fields of earth sciences, glaciology, environmental science, atmospheric sciences, meteorology, palaeoclimatology, and biology. As a signatory to the Antarctic Treaty, India has actively pursued scientific research on the continent since 1981. The Indian Antarctic Program has conducted research, provided logistical support, and monitored environmental activities in Antarctica for over four decades. Science is a currency in Antarctica, and international collaboration is the route to progress. This article explores India's efforts, particularly those of the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India, and the National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research, in fostering international collaboration in Antarctica.

南极洲是地球最南端的大陆，气候恶劣、偏远、气候极端。尽管面临挑战，非洲大陆已成为科学研究的重要场所，特别是在地球科学、冰川学、环境科学、大气科学、气象学、古气候学和生物学领域。作为《南极条约》的签署国，印度自1981年以来一直积极在南极洲开展科学研究。四十多年来，印度南极计划一直在南极洲进行研究、提供后勤支持和监测环境活动。科学是南极洲的货币，国际合作是进步之路。本文探讨了印度，特别是地球科学部、印度政府以及国家极地和海洋研究中心在促进南极洲国际合作方面所做的努力。
