中國第38次南極科學考察圓滿收官

China's research icebreaker Xuelong, or Snow Dragon, returned to Shanghai on Tuesday, marking the end of the country's 38th Antarctic expedition. Two icebreakers participated in the 174-day expedition, with the Xuelong 2 arriving in Shanghai six days ago. This is the second time that China has sent two icebreakers to the Antarctic since the 36th polar expedition.
