Unlike the Antarctic, which has no permanent residents at all, in the Arctic, there are permanent residents living here. In the past thousands of years, Eskimos have thrived here. At the same time, with the arrival of the era of great navigation, when explorers discovered the Arctic, the resources of the Arctic were gradually developed and utilized. Therefore, many immigrants came to the North Pole to work and live here. In addition, many scientific research teams conducted scientific investigations in the Arctic.
Why do you want to visit the North Pole?
Speaking of the Arctic Ocean, you will want the Arctic Ocean. As a huge frozen ocean, the Arctic Ocean has a very large area. Many coastal countries and regions such as North Asia and North America are also adjacent to the Arctic Ocean, and the climate and environment are also affected by the Arctic Ocean. Therefore, the study of the Arctic Ocean is of great significance to the whole world.
Taking China as an example, the changes of desertification and drought in many places in northern China in recent years are also related to the climate change in the Arctic Ocean. Therefore, a scientific investigation of the Arctic Ocean and an understanding of its climate change can help us to analyze its impact on global warming and the major economic regions in China.
At the same time, the Arctic Ocean is also rich in resources. First of all, fish resources, a quarter of the annual catch of offshore fishing in China comes from the Arctic Ocean, so it is of great significance to study the ecological environment and biodiversity of the Arctic Ocean for the development of offshore fishing in China.
Followed by oil resources, many people immigrate to the Arctic, which is also related to the oil resources in the Arctic. In recent years, through scientific investigation, the Arctic is not only rich in oil resources, but also rich in natural gas resources. At the same time, it is found that the Arctic is one of the four major oil and gas-rich areas in the world.
At present, China's domestic resources such as oil and natural gas are not enough to meet the needs of our sustainable and long-term development. Therefore, it is imperative to explore oil and natural gas resources in the Arctic in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a detailed study and investigation of the Arctic, and grasp the distribution of resources in the Arctic in detail.
Snow Dragon 2? Has set off for the North Pole.
Up to now, China has successfully conducted 10 Arctic scientific expedition, and returned to Shanghai base after completing the Antarctic expedition? Snow Dragon 2? It also set sail again on July 15, and set off from Shanghai for the Arctic to carry out related scientific investigation activities. If all goes well, it will return to the base at the end of September this year.
What is this? Snow Dragon 2? ? ? Snow Dragon 2? It is a scientific icebreaker independently developed by China. What's its full name? Snow Dragon 2 polar research ship? It is also the world's first icebreaker for polar scientific research, which uses bow and stern two-way icebreaking technology. Its technology is very advanced, and its appearance has also filled the equipment gap in the field of polar scientific research in China.
This time? Snow Dragon 2? The main exploration task of going to the Arctic is to further enhance our understanding of the Arctic, analyze the climate and environmental changes in the Arctic, check the melting of Arctic sea ice, and analyze the future impact on human beings in the global warming environment. Looking forward to it? Snow Dragon 2? There will be more good news!
