Get ready for some icy adventures! ❄️🚀 China's 41st Antarctic expedition has just kicked off as a 34-member preparatory team touched down at Qinling Station, the country's fifth research hub on the frozen continent.
The team's mission? Getting everything shipshape before the main crew arrives. They've been hard at work restarting key equipment and bringing the station back to life. Think of it like jump-starting a giant, frosty spaceship! 🚀🧊
They've fired up three excavators, two loaders, and two massive 100kW generators. With power restored and machinery humming, Qinling Station is all set for the exciting science missions ahead.
Stay tuned, explorers! More Antarctic updates coming your way. 🌐✨
