amazing temple

The first two Indian children to make it to Antartica and survive hair-raising episodes have come out with a fascinating account of their trip to the planet's last frontier besides a remote Indian temple.Suravi Thomas and Rishi Thomas uncover in their 'Adventures in Antartica' (Puffin) an eye-catching shrine with Hindu idols in the southernmost tip of Chile from where expeditions to Antartica sail out.'This is the southernmost temple in the world,' say the young authors, children of a top Indian diplomat and business executive who were 15 and 12 when they made the trip. Both are studying in Chile. Proceeds from the book go to a charity in India.The interior of the temple was richly decorated with mirror-work mosaics, beads, crystals, electric lights and other ornaments. Inside, on display were idols and symbols of all the different religions of India including Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Christianity and Buddhism
