The research ship escorting scientific research is also a window for popularizing polar knowledge. On this voyage, the "Snow Dragon" and "Snow Dragon 2" have held a total of three public open days. The Snow Dragon 2 visited Hong Kong for the first time, and a series of scientific research exchanges and science popularization lectures set off a "great heat".

As Ma Fengguo, chairman of the preparatory committee for the "Snow Dragon 2" visit to Hong Kong, said, "Snow Dragon 2" and "polar research" have become familiar words to Hong Kong people, especially stimulating young people's interest in and enthusiasm for polar research.

The Antarctic is thousands of miles away, and the results of the expedition are not far away from us.

For another example, one of the dangers of microplastics in the ocean is that they enter Marine life through the food chain, and if humans consume these organisms, their health is at risk. One of the team's operational research projects in the Southern Ocean is to analyze the amount of microplastics in the ocean.

In addition, meteorological support personnel record meteorological data at regular intervals every day, which can effectively enrich numerical models and improve the accuracy of meteorological forecasts; Some of the equipment is tested and applied in extreme environments, and related technologies may appear around you and me in the future...

More than 81,000 nautical miles, equivalent to about four circles around the earth's equator, "Snow dragon Brothers" cabin and storage disk more babies, the future days will be announced for us one after another.
