On Wednesday, 13 members of a Chinese expedition team reached the summit of the world's highest peak at a height of 8,848.86 meters. The squad established an automatic meteorological monitoring station at an altitude of 8,830 meters, the world's highest of its kind. They also measured the thickness of ice and snow using high-accuracy radar and collected samples for further research at the summit. Dechen Ngodrup, head of the squad who had reached the summit of Mount Qomolangma four times, described the difficulty of the summiting mission this time as "beyond imagination." According to him, everything went smoothly until they left the final camp at an altitude of 8,300 meters for the summit at 3 a.m. Wednesday, when they had to walk through snow that reached their knees.
