Oh huh.

"The “gravity hole” in the Indian Ocean — officially called the Indian Ocean geoid low — is the lowest point in that geoid and its biggest gravitational anomaly, forming a circular depression that starts just off India’s southern tip and covers about 1.2 million square miles (3 million square kilometers)."

I had no idea that gravity on earth fluctuated that much.

The Indian Ocean has low density matter beneath it that causes it to be 100m lower than if it were average gravity at sea level.
