2025年9月，北纬85度，北冰洋。海风呼啸，舷窗外是漫无边际的浮冰，作为一名和岩石打了20余年交 道的海洋地质科研人员，我第一次来到如此高纬度的极地。我们此行的目的地并非冰面，而是冰层之下 5000多米的深渊。 当我乘坐的"奋斗者"号载人潜水器缓缓没入冰冷的海水，舷窗外的光线一点点被黑暗吞没，我内心的激 动压倒了对未知的恐惧。这次历时98天的北极科考，团队依托我国自主设计建造的首艘破冰科考船"探 索三号"，在海冰覆盖率超过80%的加克洋中脊，完成了一次密集冰区连续载人深潜。 后来，年轻的科考团队提出新方案：既然"船找潜器"行不通，那就换"潜器找船"。母船通过破冰开辟出 水域，通过先进的水声通信系统，指引水下的潜水器精准追踪母船位置，实现从冰缝中安全上浮。这种 在密集冰区"船潜协同"的移动式冰潜模式，帮助我们更好地安全作业。 在第418和第421潜次中，我们要用机械手采集玄武岩样品，这些岩石能帮我们了解地幔深处的岩浆是如 何塑造海底世界的。为了减少舱内如厕的不便，我们往往要在下潜前控制饮食和饮水，在狭小的球舱里 工作9个小时。但在幽深的海底，借着潜水器的灯光看到从地球深部喷涌而出的玄武质熔岩，我们觉得 所有的 ...
