Welcome back to our Muztagh Expedition Log series. The past few days brought some challenges. Despite our eagerness to take the helicopter up to the ice core drilling site 6,500 meters above sea level, the weather gods are playing tricks on us! And as we learn from the scientists - unpredictability is a big part of scientific research on the Tibetan Plateau. (CGTN)
What's it like to be on a helicopter? And what can you see from an elevation of over 6,300m? Buckle up, take a helicopter ride with us and enjoy the breathtaking view along the way!
Welcome to a new episode of Muztagh Ata Expedition Log! Today, we're diving into the world of ice cores. These cylinders of ice hold crucial climate history and are one of the most vital tools for scientists to study and combat climate change. We are drilling on Muztagh Ata to understand climate patterns at different heights. Stay tuned for more on the Tibetan Plateau and the team's incredible dedication.
