China’s Antarctic expedition team unloads supplies for research base [Video]

Members of China’s 41st Antarctic expedition team recently unloaded supplies for its research base on Antarctica from two icebreakers which had spent more than a month at sea. The unloading operations for around 5,300 cubic meters of cargo, weighing approximately 2,030 tonnes, took place alongside Zhongshan Station. The cargo includes construction materials, scientific equipment and essential logistical supplies. Zhongshan Station is China’s largest research facility in southeastern Antarctica and serves as a crucial support hub for the Kunlun and Taishan stations.
