SHANGHAI, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) — China's research icebreaker Xuelong 2 (Snow Dragon 2) returned to port in east China's Shanghai on Friday, marking the end of the country's largest Arctic Ocean scientific expedition to date.
China's 15th Arctic expedition carried 100 researchers and scientists on board the vessel.
Organized by the Ministry of Natural Resources of China, this phase of Arctic research was jointly carried out by four vessels: Xuelong 2, Jidi, Shenhai 1, and Tansuo 3. As the researchers noted, the current expedition allowed China to expand its understanding of the rapid changes in the Arctic Ocean and their consequences, providing important support for a better understanding and effective response to global climate change.
During the expedition, the Xuelong-2 and Jidi vessels carried out comprehensive studies of the marine environment and tasks supporting manned deep-sea dives in the Chukchi Plateau, the Canadian Basin, and the central Arctic Ocean.
According to the expedition team, the vessels have made significant progress in conducting multidisciplinary, integrated research in ice edge zones and three-dimensional, coordinated observations of the state of the atmosphere, ice cover, and sea. –0–
