Why explore the Arctic Ocean less frequently?

China has explored Antarctica 39 times

Exploring the Arctic Ocean only 12 times

Mainly due to the short navigation time and limited navigation data in the Arctic Ocean

The Arctic Ocean surface freezes over the years

The time when the ship can sail normally


Snow Dragon 2 has achieved a small goal! What else does it need to do next? Project | Arctic Ocean | Objectives

There are only two or three months in a year

In addition, this water area has always lacked accurate and reliable navigation data

And there is a large amount of floating ice and icebergs

Bringing huge challenges to ship navigation

On July 25, 2023, a Chinese scientific expedition team member worked at the Chinese Arctic Yellow River Station in Novo Olesson, Svalbard Islands, Norway.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
