Arctic Ocean Scientific Expedition

Scientific expedition team members retrieve a benthic lander while conducting scientific research in the Arctic Ocean aboard China's research icebreaker Xuelong 2, Aug. 14, 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.
