The "Xuelong" and "Xuelong-2" ships, which are currently carrying out China's 41st Antarctic exploration mission, arrived at the outer edge of the Zhongshan Station in Antarctica on November 28th Beijing time. After breaking the ice and reaching the scheduled stopping position, they will carry out unloading operations in the Zhongshan Station area. This unloading is the first large-scale operation of the inspection team, which will complete the unloading of business scientific research materials, logistics support materials, engineering construction materials, and rotate some personnel. According to the plan, the operation time of "Xuelong" is expected to last for more than 10 days, and the operation time of "Xuelong 2" is expected to last for 4 days. It is reported that the first batch of 34 standing team members will fly to Zhongshan Station by helicopter aboard the "Snow Dragon". Next, the inspection team will comprehensively consider various factors such as weather, ice conditions, and distance to improve the efficiency of helicopter and sea ice unloading operations, ensuring the safe and efficient completion of all unloading tasks in the Zhongshan Station area. The 41st Chinese Antarctic Expedition organized by the Ministry of Natural Resources is supported by three ships, with the "Xuelong" and "Xuelong 2" mainly carrying out scientific expeditions, personnel transportation, and logistical supply tasks; The "Yongsheng" cargo ship is mainly responsible for transporting materials for the construction of supporting facilities at Qinling Station.
