The "Xuelong" has successfully completed 12 ice station operation tasks.

The 16th Arctic Ocean expedition organized by the Ministry of Natural Resources is currently underway. So far, the "Xuelong" has completed 12 ice station investigation missions. This time, the "Xuelong" conducted a total of 12 ice station operations, the highest number for a single ship in previous Arctic Ocean expeditions. Under the dual constraints of on-site ice conditions and operational limits, the expedition team completed the transportation support for all scientific research supplies on the ice surface through meticulous planning and deployed over 30 sets of various ice-based buoys.
