Drake Passage:
ยฌ located between
1. Cape Horn: at tip of South America and Antarctic Peninsula.
ยฌ named after Sir Francis Drake: 1st Englishman to circumnavigate globe.
The Roughest waterways
ยฌ layers of cold seawater from south and
ยฌ warm seawater from north
ยฌ both collide to form powerful "eddies".
ยฌ Such eddies combine with strong winds, storms = treacherous for those attempting to navigate it.
2019: 6 rovers from 4 countries, crossed Drake Passage
= a new Guinness World Records (GWR).
2018: an all-woman Indian Navy team on INS Tarini also successfully crossed Passage.

โฆ๏ธKaladan project
โ The Kaladan project connects SITTWE PORT in Myanmar to the India-Myanmar border.
โ The project was jointly initiated by India and Myanmar to create a multi-modal platform for cargo shipments from the eastern ports to Myanmar and to the North-eastern parts of the country through Myanmar.
โ Significance: It is expected to open up sea routes and promote economic development in the North-eastern states, and also add value to the economic, commercial and strategic ties between India and Myanmar.
โ This project will reduce distance from Kolkata to Sittwe by approximately 1328 km and will reduce the need to transport good through the narrow Siliguri corridor, also known as Chickenโs Neck.
โ Sittwe is the capital of Rakhine State (which has been in the news for the plight of Rohingya Muslims) in south-western Myanmar. It is located at the mouth of the KALADAN RIVER, which flows into Mizoram in north-eastern India.

Russia has deployed an underwater telescope called the Baikal-GVD (Gigaton Volume Detector) in the Lake Baikal, the worldโs deepest lake & also the world's largest freshwater lake by volume
GVD is one of the three largest neutrino detectors in the world, other 2 being IceCube at the South Pole and ANTARES in the Mediterranean Sea.
GVD is designed to detect neutrinos that may have come from the Earthโs core, or could have been produced during nuclear reactions in the Sun, or formed as a result of supernova explosions.
It will aid in understanding of the origin of the universe since some neutrinos were formed during the Big Bang
Neutrinos:๐
They are not easy to catch, this is because they do not carry a charge, as a result of which they do not interact with matter.
Natural sources of neutrinos include the primordial elements within the earth, radioactivity in the sun
One way of detecting neutrinos is in water or ice, where neutrinos leave a flash of light or a line of bubbles when they interact.

๐Baralacha Pass
Why news.
โ The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) would reopen the Baralacha Pass.
โ Baralacha La is a high mountain pass in Zanskar range, connecting Lahaul district in Himachal Pradesh to Leh district in Ladakh.
โ Situated along the LehโManali Highway, it acts as a water-divide between the Bhaga river and the Yunam river.
โ Bhaga river, a tributary of the Chenab river, originates from Surya taal lake, which is situated a few of kms from the pass towards Manali.
โ Chandra, a major tributary of the Chenab River, also originates from a glacier in this region.
โ The native name of Chenab, "Chandrabhaga", represents the union of Chandra and Bhaga rivers downstream.
