Arctic Ocean Scientific Expedition

This photo taken on Aug. 6, 2025 shows China's manned deep-sea submersible Jiaolong returned to the surface from the bottom of the sea in the Arctic Ocean. China's research icebreaker Xuelong 2, or Snow Dragon 2, arrived in Shanghai on Friday, marking the completion of the country's hitherto largest Arctic Ocean scientific expedition. During the expedition, the Xuelong 2 and Jidi vessels completed comprehensive marine environment surveys and manned deep-sea diving support tasks in the Chukchi sea plateau, the Canada Basin and the central region of the Arctic Ocean.

    A drone photo taken on Sept. 26, 2025 shows China's research icebreaker Xuelong 2 berthed at a dock in Shanghai, east China, Sept. 26, 2025. China's research icebreaker Xuelong 2, or Snow Dragon 2, arrived in Shanghai on Friday, marking the completion of the country's hitherto largest Arctic Ocean scientific expedition. A total of 100 members of China's 15th Arctic Ocean scientific expedition were aboard the vessel. Organized by the Ministry of Natural Resources, this round of Arctic survey was jointly carried out by four vessels, including Xuelong 2, Jidi, Shenhai-1 and Tansuo-3. This Arctic expedition has further enhanced China's understanding of the rapid changes in the Arctic Ocean and their impacts, providing important support for a deeper understanding and effective response to global climate change, according to the researchers.
