What is the reason why China went to the South Pole and the North Pole for scientific investigation?

As early as 200 1, the relevant departments of our country drew up the master plan for polar exploration capacity building, including the construction of the Arctic scientific research station. China's "Outline of the Tenth Five-Year Plan for Marine Work" also clearly puts forward that polar scientific research stations should be established at an appropriate time. On February 28th, 2002, 65438+, the construction of China Arctic Scientific Research Station was formally established. On July 28th, 2004, the Yellow River Station, the first Arctic scientific research base in China, was completed and put into use. At the Yellow River Station, the scientific research personnel focused on long-term observation and research on ocean, atmosphere, ice and snow, space physics, geology, geophysics, biology and ecology around the research fields of global change and its impact on China's climate and environment, polar space environment and space weather, and life characteristics and processes in polar environment. 20 18 10 18, the second Arctic scientific research station in China-China Ice Arctic Scientific Research Station was officially put into operation. The station is located in Kerch (65 71'N, 65 438+07 36' W), a city in northern Iceland. It was jointly built by China and Iceland. With a variety of scientific investigation capabilities, it can carry out aurora observation, atmospheric monitoring, glaciers, remote sensing and other research. Some buildings can be extended to the observation and research of oceanography, geophysics, biology and other disciplines after transformation. Establishing a scientific research station in the Arctic not only creates the necessary conditions for China to carry out long-term, in-depth and sustained scientific research in the Arctic, but also forms a perfect combination in polar scientific research in cooperation with Zhongshan Station and other scientific research stations established in the Antarctic.
