The Great Wall Station celebrates its 40th birthday. How many Chinese miracles have the "Ice Breaker" of the Antarctic scientific expedition created?
40 years ago today, on the Fields Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica, the first Antarctic expedition station in my country, the China Antarctic Great Wall Station, was held. China's 41st Antarctic expedition is underway. Great Wall Station is conducting scientific research on ecology, atmosphere, high altitude physics, surveying and mapping, geology, etc., and will usher in the task of three stations simultaneously overwintering for the first time, together with Zhongshan Station and Qinling Station.
40 years have passed, what new changes have taken place at the Great Wall Station today? From Great Wall Station to Qinling Station, my country has built five inspection stations in Antarctica. What division of labor and breakthroughs do these inspection stations have?
At 22:00 on February 14, 1985, my country's first Antarctic expedition station, China's Antarctic Great Wall Station, stood tall in the south of the Fields Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica; a few days later, on February 20, the completion ceremony of the Great Wall Station was held in heavy snow. The completion of the Great Wall Station fills a gap in my country's scientific development and marks the beginning of my country's polar investigation cause; then, my country officially became a consultative country on the Antarctic Treaty and officially had the right to speak on the international Antarctic governance stage. Guo Kun, the first stationmaster of China's Antarctic Great Wall Station, said that whether to build a website in Antarctica is related to national honor and disgrace and national dignity.
Guo Kun, the first stationmaster of China's Antarctic Great Wall Station: In September 1983, our government sent an Antarctic delegation to attend the 12th Consultative Congress meeting of the Antarctic Treaty. When the conference was about to vote on the agenda, the president of the conference knocked the wooden hammer - and asked non-negotiating countries to withdraw from the venue. The dignified Chinese delegation was expelled from the venue at the Antarctic International Conference, which was the greatest humiliation. Why? It’s because you don’t have a stand in Antarctica.
