继9月30日我国科学家宣布探明位于西藏那曲市双湖县境内的普若岗日冰原是青藏高原上最厚的冰川,10月29日,科考现场又传来新进展:我国科学家打破世界纪录,在此钻取了全球中低纬度冰川最长的冰芯,长达324米。


普若岗日冰原20世纪被我国科学家发现后,成为国际青藏高原研究的新热点。科学家介绍,冰川一旦融化,其封存的地球历史记录也将消失,因此钻取、保存冰芯尤为重要。


Chinese scientists announced on Tuesday that they have extracted the world's longest ice core in Earth's mid-to-low latitudes.

The core was extracted in the Purog Kangri Glacier in Tsonyi county, Xizang autonomous region, Xinhua News Agency reported.
Measuring an impressive 324 meters in length, the ice core surpasses the previous record held by a core extracted from the Guliya Ice Cap in Xizang's Ngari prefecture.

The Purog Kangri Glacier is the thickest glacier on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. By delving into this icy expanse, researchers aim to gain valuable insights into the changing landscape of this significant region.
Through meticulous examinations of ice cores, scientists hope to unravel the transformations occurring within the glacier and shed light on the impact of global climate change on glaciers worldwide.
