When it comes to the Antarctic research station, many people may also remember that many documentaries about penguins were filmed in Antarctica, not only in the film, but also in the film there are not only sticky whales, but also unique buildings such as the Tikal Baseball Stadium, and these buildings are all built by humans, which is really incredible.
What exactly are these Antarctic research sites?
And what does it look like?
What are the living conditions in Antarctica?
Today we will talk about the research sites in the Antarctic region.
By the way, how many Antarctic research sites are there in China?
Antarctic research sites in China.
It can be seen that as the climate in the Antarctic region warms, the research on the development of the Antarctic region is becoming more and more serious.
Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth, and the ice here is frighteningly thick.
Not only is Antarctica the richest reservoir of freshwater on Earth, but Antarctica is one of the most mysterious places on Earth, where not only is there no decaying organisms, not even bacteria exist.
This means that if there is any place on Earth where life can be stored, it is Antarctica.
Therefore, the Antarctic region is an extremely important place for human beings.
At the same time, the scientific research base in Antarctica is also a trace left by human beings on this land.
For China, the mainland has established four scientific research bases in Antarctica.
They are Zhongshan Station, Great Wall Station, Kunlun Station and the newly built Ross Sea Station so far.
These four sites can be said to have their own characteristics not only in terms of location, but also in terms of function and construction of the site.
The new research site we are going to talk about today is located on the ice shelf island, the largest island in Antarctica, China.
This new research station is the Ross Sea station, which officially started construction last year.
So what will happen to China's scientific research base after the completion of the Ross Sea station?
Ross Sea Station.
Ross Sea Station is located at 75°74' N and 163°01'E, 318 km from Cape Taos, New Zealand.
The Ross Sea station was established in 2013 when the State Oceanic Administration of China merged with the China Polar Exploration Working Group to conduct research on the mainland's marine environment and biological resources in Antarctica.
But in 2015, the project was finalized, and the Ross Sea station in Antarctica is the mainland's Antarctic research base.
After that, the mainland will establish a continental Antarctic base in the Ross Sea for various activities such as scientific research and exploration in the Antarctic region.
In 2019, the construction of the new base Ross Sea Station officially began.
The Ross Sea Station can be said to be a very important scientific research base for the mainland to cope with climate warming, and it will also greatly improve the scientific research strength of the mainland in the Antarctic region.
The Ross Sea Station serves as the mainland's fourth scientific research base in the Antarctic region.
At present, the closest to him in the Antarctic region is the scientific research site in South Korea.
The South Korean research site was built on the freezing point of Antarctica, about 150 kilometers from the Ross Sea station, which is near the base in New Zealand.
The completion of the Ross Sea station will not only strengthen the mainland's position in scientific research in the Antarctic region, but also strengthen cooperation between China and South Korea in the field of scientific research.
The question of China's rights in Antarctica.
So, let's talk about China's ice sheets and rights in Antarctica.
Although the Antarctic region is a continent without a country, in fact, the Antarctic continent can be said to belong to no country alone, and it is a recognized international practice in the world.
However, although the Antarctic continent does not belong to any country, there is a huge ice cap around it.
And these ice sheets are arguably the most relevant to the planet's freshwater resources.
So, in fact, although the Antarctic continent does not belong to any country, many of the ice sheet resources around the Antarctic continent and the resources inside the ice sheet do not actually belong to any country.
Therefore, mineral mining on the Antarctic continent is not allowed in any country.
This means that the resources on the Antarctic continent cannot be exploited by any national representative.
Then, another constraint on the Antarctic continent is the construction and military facilities on the Antarctic continent.
No military activities or other acts are allowed on the Antarctic continent, and it is also forbidden to build any military facilities and other buildings on the Antarctic continent.
These rules apply to any country, no matter who they are, and they cannot be violated.
On the Antarctic continent, there are many research sites and other buildings that can exist, but the existence and construction of these buildings need to be recognized and regulated by the rationality, which is the rule that scientific research bases in all countries must abide by.
Therefore, construction projects on the Antarctic continent need to be reviewed.
China has four scientific research stations in the Antarctic continent, which are not only the traces left by the mainland in the Antarctic region, but also China's scientific research strength in Antarctica.
Therefore, only through the enhancement of scientific research strength can we gain sufficient respect in the international community, and at the same time, we will be able to establish a greater reputation and authority for the mainland in the international community in the future.
epilogue
China's scientific research base in the Antarctic region will continue to improve, and the mainland's position in the field of Antarctic scientific research will be further consolidated in the future.
The Antarctic scientific research base will play a very important role in the mainland's scientific research status.
