航行两周 “雪龙”号顺利抵达秦岭站

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese 42nd Antarctic Expedition team is actively conducting research in Antarctica, with the "Xuelong" ship successfully arriving at the Qinling Station after a two-week journey, despite facing challenges along the way [1][7]. Group 1 - The "Xuelong" ship departed from the unloading point in the waters surrounding Zhongshan Station on December 14, 2025, and reached Qinling Station as planned [1]. - The expedition faced difficulties as the "Xuelong 2" ship, which was supposed to scout ahead, was delayed and did not provide timely updates [3]. - The weather in Antarctica changed rapidly, complicating navigation through dense ice areas, which posed challenges for the "Xuelong 2" ship responsible for icebreaking [5]. Group 2 - As time progressed, the ice began to loosen, allowing the "Xuelong" ship to break through the chaotic ice and successfully enter a navigable waterway [7]. - After the "Xuelong" ship managed to escape from the ice, the "Xuelong 2" found a new waterway and also exited the chaotic ice area [7]. - Following their respective paths, the "Xuelong" ship headed east while the "Xuelong 2" went west, each carrying out their designated research tasks, marking the true beginning of the expedition for the 38 members at Qinling Station [7].
