At 13:55 Beijing time on September 5, 2023, China's 13th Arctic Ocean Scientific Expedition, organized by the Ministry of Natural Resources, arrived at 90 degrees north latitude and the Arctic region during the operation on the polar research icebreaker Xuelong 2. The expedition team carried out ice station survey and comprehensive marine survey operation focusing on atmosphere, hydrology, biology and sea ice conditions in the North Pole, which filled the gap of the survey data of the continental Arctic Ocean expedition in the Arctic region, helped to further understand the change process of sea ice and ocean currents in the region, deepened the understanding of the rapid change of the Arctic Ocean and its ecological response, and provided data support for effectively coping with the impact of global climate change on the continent.
