84 degrees north latitude arctic expedition to China's problems of ice station addressing

in 500 meters high altitude overlooking the arctic sea, China's third arctic expedition chief scientist ZhangHaiSheng can't help shake head to sigh: "the arctic sea ice just like human burnt by the body, in climate warming environment has now ablation thoroughly refuted."

On August 20, early morning, for China third arctic expedition task "photo, polar plate-size ship along longitude west 143 degrees north latitude direction step to 84 degrees 26 points, where it finally stopped a day-night rest footstep. In order to find a high concentration of large area, surface smooth ice, "photo number has inadvertently created China Marine voyage most north record.

From "photo, the bow looks, is still widespread crushing ice, every square kilometers of waters although have ice cloudy, but the melting snow cistern and blue ice between lake will full wafer ice arc, let this shall be complete surface appear messy unbearable. "Photo number receive satellite pictures showed continued north 1 to 2 latitude is still the same ice, but left expedition to establish a" ice station "time has left many.

"Ice station" is established in ice temporary survey and living areas, the main purpose is to avoid the influence of the hull, exploring the arctic natural environmental conditions. A dense, high surface area is to establish a plain ice "ice station" important rely on.

20 9 when the 35 points (Beijing time) at 5 35 points, ZhangHaiSheng decided to try on ice, helicopter look for establishing "ice station" comprehensive scientific observation strive for the time.

10 minutes, 20 minutes... 10 kilometers, 20 kilometers...

Nearly one hour of time, helicopter around the "photo in fangyuan 50 kilometers, within the scope of low-speed flying. Was staring into space duplicate, like a roll of the arctic ocean ZiQing abounding calligraphy, white ice is soft rice paper, blue and ice melting pool is between lake overflowed calligrapher's, the economist sometimes tenderness elegant, sometimes the spiritual powerful.
