The new comprehensive scientific expedition on Mount Qomolangma, as part of China's second scientific research survey of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is the country's first scientific research above an altitude of 8,000 meters on the peak. More than 270 scientific research members from five teams are participating in the expedition. The glacier and pollutant research team led by Kang Shichang, a researcher with the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), will monitor pollutants, the Rongbuk glacier and ice lake changes, as well as the greenhouse gas emissions from rivers and lakes covering the high-altitude area from the Mount Qomolangma base camp to the East Rongbuk glacier.

Qowowuyag, on Sunday morning to carry out scientific research on the world's sixth-highest peak. This is the first time Chinese scientists have scaled a peak exceeding 8,000 meters in altitude apart from Mount Qomolangma, the world's highest summit. Located on the China-Nepal border, Mount Cho Oyu is the sixth-highest mountain in the world with an altitude of 8,201 meters. The expedition underscores China's capability to effectively organize and execute comprehensive scientific research in extremely high-altitude areas, said Yao Tandong, an academician with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Lian Xinming, a researcher at the Northwest Institute of Plateau Biology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has dedicated more than 20 years of research to Tibetan antelopes since he first set foot on Hoh Xil in 2002. "Tibetan antelope protection stands as a successful example of human involvement in rescuing endangered animals," said Lian. "Using advanced technology to gain insights into what lies behind the migration of a species can also inspire the research and conservation efforts for other species."
