The video carries the message, 'Happy Independence Day from Antarctica,' and Sharma captioned it: 'Happy Independence Day from the coldest place and the southernmost continent on Earth.' A post shared by Mohit Sharma (@ The powerful gesture struck a chord online, with many viewers leaving heartfelt reactions.
