Why do we all go to the Antarctic for research and exploration, but why don t we go to the North Pol

Why is it so cold in the Antarctic and so many people go on expeditions, but there is no one in the Arctic? After reading the knowledge.

China is going to conduct a scientific expedition to the ArcticBecauseChina is geographically a "near-Arctic country"., one of the closest countries to the Arctic Circle on land. The natural state of the Arctic and its changes have a direct impact on China's climate system and ecological environment, which in turn is related to China's economic interests in agriculture, forestry, fishery, marine and other fields.

At the same time,The future of the Arctic is about the interests of the Arctic countriesIt is related to the well-being of countries outside the Arctic region and all mankind, and Arctic governance requires the participation and contribution of all stakeholders.

The heroes of the scientific expedition set out again

On July 12, China's 12th Arctic scientific expedition organized by the Ministry of Natural Resources set off from Shanghai on the ship "Snow Dragon 2" to carry out a scientific mission in the Arctic.

This expedition is the first Arctic scientific expedition organized by China during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, and the total voyage is expected to be about 10,000 nautical miles, and it will return to Shanghai in late September.

1.The climate system of the Arctic seriously affects the weather and climate of our country, and affects the alternation of seasons, droughts, floods, winds and frosts in China's major economic regions.

2.The Arctic Ocean current has an important impact on the climate and environment of the East Asian continent and the marine economy and fishing grounds. At present, there are more than 1,000 distant-water fishing vessels in China, with a total annual catch of about 500,000 tons, of which 1 4 come from the Arctic Ocean.

3.Arctic research can provide a necessary scientific basis for land consolidation planning for desertification and desertification control in the arid and semi-arid areas of Beiwan in China.

4.China's current proven oil and gas resources can no longer meet the long-term needs of national economic development, and the Arctic region is the fourth largest in the world.

Because the Arctic is a region without national borders, the main purpose of scientific investigation of the Arctic is to better develop the Arctic in the future for the benefit of future generations.

It is necessary to solve the mysteries of many disciplines such as space physics and space environment detection. As the largest developing country in the northern hemisphere, China is most directly affected by climate and environmental changes in the Arctic region.

The Arctic is a polar region, which belongs to the wealth of all mankind, and is a natural scientific laboratory, with rich resources and high scientific research value, so China conducts scientific investigations.

China's scientific expedition to the polar regions has achieved fruitful results that have attracted worldwide attention and safeguarded the country's rights and interests in the polar regions. China has achieved a corresponding and favorable international status and voice in international affairs such as polar politics and diplomacy, cooperation in climate and environmental governance, resource utilization, and participation in polar rule-making.

The South Pole and the North Pole are fixed, while the East and West do not have a fixed location.

There is an end point between north and south, and the most important thing to go south is to reach the South Pole, and all directions of the South Pole are due north, so you can't go south, and the North Pole is the same. Regarding the distance of the Sun, we ignore the effect of the Earth's revolution, for example, at the equator, if the Earth rotates in place, its distance from the Sun is constant, but the distance between any Sun at noon and midnight is one Earth radius.

The Earth is the solar system.

The third planet, the largest terrestrial planet in diameter, mass and density in the solar system, is the only known living object in the universe. The name "ball** is derived from the understanding of the shape of the earth, which can be traced back to ancient Greece.

Scholar Aristotle.

The name and concept of "earth" were proposed from the philosophical "perfection" of the sphere and the mathematical "equilibrium".

For the Arctic, 60% of its area is ocean, and the remaining area is occupied by some countries, namely the United States, Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Canada, Russia, Denmark and Finland, a total of eight countries, which are the territories of these countries and part of the Arctic, and people who live nearby can often go to the Arctic to see polar bears. But the land situation in the Antarctic and the Arctic is very different. The land of Antarctica is a separate entity, and no part of it belongs to any other country.

In the 1961 year of the last century, many countries came together to decide on the ownership of Antarctica. The final result of the negotiations was that Antarctica did not belong to any country, and then the Antarctic Treaty was signed, which clearly stipulated that Antarctica was the common property of all mankind and did not belong to any country. In order to protect the ecological environment of Antarctica, the temperature of the two places is very different.

The Antarctic is different from the North Pole The Arctic region is located in the northernmost part of the earth and has a natural fusion The Antarctic is known as the seventh continent and is the last continent on Earth to be discovered and the only continent that has not been inhabited by people.

The average temperature in Antarctica is below minus 50 degrees Celsius every day, and people often experience snowstorms. Under normal circumstances, they can only stay in the research station, and if they go out, they will be swallowed by ice and snow in an instant. The temperature in the Arctic is not so low, generally around minus 10 degrees, and some places may only be minus a few degrees, but the average temperature is about 30 degrees higher than that of the Antarctic, this is because people often go to the Arctic, and the temperature in the Arctic gradually rises, which is also because two-thirds of the Arctic region is the sea, and the sea water can evaporate a lot of heat, which also makes the Arctic region warmer.

The North Pole and the South Pole are at the two extremes of the earth, and there is a big difference in terms of natural environment, temperature and climate, as well as living environment. Because Antarctica has not been developed at present, and the country's research on Antarctica is being further carried out, it is not allowed to log in casually, and you need to apply for it. The conditions in the Arctic are relatively good, and after professional training or sufficient personal strength, it is possible to log in.

The distribution of the Arctic and the Antarctic is different, and the distribution of land is also quite different, the Arctic is occupied by multiple countries, while the Antarctic is only an independent entity; Because Antarctica has special regulations on ownership, it belongs to the common property of mankind, and in order to protect the local ecological environment, it cannot be registered casually, while the Arctic can.

The South Pole is the land, while the North Pole is the ocean, the temperature in the South Pole is lower, generally at minus 50 degrees, while the temperature in the North Pole is generally around minus 18 degrees. The Arctic has a relatively low altitude, while the Antarctic has a very high altitude. Because the temperature in the Antarctic is very low and not suitable for human life, and the temperature in the North Pole is acceptable to humans, so the North Pole can make landfall.

First of all, their distribution is different, the ecological environment is different, the temperature is different, the heat is different, and the altitude is different; Because the Antarctic is the common property of mankind, but in order to protect the environment of the Antarctic, it is stipulated that the people are not allowed to travel to the Antarctic casually, so they can only go to the North Pole.

Why is it that so many people go on expeditions in the South Pole, but there is no one in the North Pole? After reading the knowledge.

1. The Antarctic region is extremely rich in mineral resources, according to the distribution of identified resources, the reserves of coal, iron and oil are the first in the world, and other mineral resources are still in the process of exploration.

2. In Antarctica, it is expected that more and richer mineral resources will be discovered, which will provide a scientific basis for human beings to use these resources. The Permian coal seams of the Antarctic continent are mainly distributed under the ice sheet of Antarctica, with reserves of about 500 billion tons, and iron ore is one of the richest mineral resources in Antarctica.

3. In Antarctica, it is mainly distributed in East Antarctica. In the strata of the southern part of the Prince Charles Mountains, from the Late Archean to the Proterozoic, there is a banded magnetite-rich rock formation with a thickness of 400 meters, a length of 120 kilometers to 180 kilometers, and a width of 5 kilometers to 10 kilometers.

Taking my country as an example, when I was a hailstone scientist in the Antarctic of Silver Potato, I also chose this season.

1. First of all, due to the limitations of natural conditions and technical conditions, it is not suitable to go to Antarctica at any time;

2. When the Northern Hemisphere is winter (China is in winter), the Antarctic region is in summer, which is the season with the longest polar day or daylight and the highest temperature;

3. The summer in Antarctica is sunny and sunny, which is the "best season" for scientific investigations, and the main season for annual material and personnel replacement.
