How to get to the North Pole?
Following the scientific research "Snow Dragon" is the third generation polar icebreaker and scientific research ship in China. The "Snow Dragon" was born in Ukraine and has been upgraded many times. Last September, "Snow Dragon" welcomed its brother-"Snow Dragon 2", which is the first self-built polar scientific research icebreaker in China! This year, "Snow Dragon 2" will begin to carry out various polar exploration missions. As the "big brother", "Snow Dragon" has an excellent report card: 1994 10. It went to the Antarctic for the first time to carry out scientific investigation and material supply and transportation tasks, and then participated in various scientific investigation tasks in the polar regions, and went to the Antarctic for 35 times. Snow Dragon is no stranger to the North Pole. It has visited the North Pole nine times since 1999. "Snow Dragon" has seven floors above the water and two floors under the water. Its hull is made of high-grade steel plate. Even if the outside temperature is as low as MINUS 40 degrees Celsius, the hull will not be deformed. All kinds of facilities on board are complete. It is equipped with advanced navigation, positioning, automatic driving system and communication system, as well as a clean laboratory of 580 square meters and a series of scientific investigation laboratories for marine physics, chemistry, biology, geology and meteorology. Each laboratory has its own "treasure", such as the hydrological data collection room, which contains not only fish detectors, Doppler current meters that can measure the speed and direction of seawater during navigation, but also a large number of advanced equipment such as detection instruments (CTD) that measure the temperature, salinity and depth of seawater.
