FREMANTLE, Auatralia - China's 26th Antarctic expedition team aboard the Xuelong (Snow Dragon) icebreaker arrived here Thursday for supplies before beginning the final leg of the ship's trip home.
China's 26th Antarctic expedition team embarked on its home journey on March 5, leaving China's Antarctic Zhongshan station after completing all of its planned scientific research and logistical tasks.
Setting out from Shanghai on October 11, 2009, the Chinese expedition team has done scientific research involving all three of China's Antarctic stations (Changcheng, Zhongshan and Kunlun) during its voyage, the first time in China's Antarctic exploration history.
