DISTA [Antarctic Expedition] Day 4 live broadcast.

Today, we were very lucky to land at the Great Wall Station in China! The Great Wall Station is the first scientific research station established by China in Antarctica. Construction began on December 30, 1984, and was completed on February 20, 1985. It is located on the Fildes Peninsula in the west of King George Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, east of a small bay in Maxwell Bay - Great Wall Bay, at 62°12'59" south latitude and 58°52'59" west longitude, outside the Antarctic Circle. It is a year-round scientific research station established by China in Antarctica for scientific research in the Antarctic region. It is 17,501.949 kilometers away from Beijing! The temperature is low all year round, and the ice and snow are covered. We feel difficult to walk on the snow road more than ten centimeters thick, and how hard it is for the scientific researchers working here! At the same time, I am very proud of the strength of my motherland... Seeing the scientific researchers and buildings here... When our kayak left, I was overwhelmed with emotions and tears filled my eyes. I felt that it was enough to come to the Great Wall Station in Antarctica in my life to have a look and feel it! 📢 Although this year's Antarctic cruise season has ended, if you are interested, you can contact us in advance to book next year's Antarctic tour. After all, the Antarctic tour is a long cycle, involving visas, booking ships and tickets, and other issues, and there is an early bird price waiting for you!
