I part three in the seventeen months of the Antarctic (excerpt)

Antarctica is the latest was discovered, because of remoteness, poor environment, especially around the Antarctic sea ice barrier, direct human exploration steps. Logistics transportation is the fundamental guarantee of Antarctic station of normal operation, compared to other parts of the world, the Antarctic Survey of logistics and material supply is very difficult.

At present, logistics transportation Chinese Antarctic Zhongshan Railway Station mainly by three ways: one is by snowmobile trail on the sea ice transport sledge; two is to rely on the boat, barge transport; three is to rely on the helicopter. The three methods have advantages and disadvantages, the key in the Antarctic in the special environment, the specific operation depends on weather conditions, sea ice and adopt what kind of way of goods transportation.

Remember the year before Chinese article25Antarctic expedition snow dragon boat arrives at the Zhongshan Railway Station sea ice in the ice shelf24Antarctic expedition Zhongshan Railway Station overwintering stationmaster Xu Xiaxing driving a snowmobile travel distance to the snow dragon boat on the sea ice100Meters suddenly fall into the hole in the ice, I drive station was in the snow dragon boat, and the driver saw this breathtaking scene, the driver immediately issued a warning, and through the radio hurriedly shouting: "the car that fell into the snow ice, please go to the rescue." Unloading operations team to listen to the radio in the side of the boat on the sea ice immediately forward rush, expedition on the ship with the quilt, with the box out of the room to the sea ice scurry.

1 second, 2 seconds -- time slowly in the past, we anxiously looking at ice in waiting for a miracle, a long 10 seconds later, we were surprised to see the hole in the ice slowly out of a man, his hands were kept pawing the puddle along the ice, difficult to climb Shanghai ice he wants to stand up, but because of the cold sea water invasion and the physical overdraft, and fell into a coma in the past on the ice. Fortunately, the rescue team this time arrived, put him back into the snow dragon boat out immediately, but because the sea ice deep snow, carrying a team one foot deep shallow foot, in the snow walking very slowly and laboriously, but many people, holding the quilt players at this time also arrived, everyone put him in the quilt will force him back to the Xuelong ship for rescue, a heart that then we hung the slowly put down.

The Xuelong ship deck table tennis players on him, his wet clothes off, several players take off clothes in warm bosom embrace him, some hold the head, some hold the body, some hold the feet, let his body temperature slowly rising, fortunately the rescue in time, he slowly wake up, he is very clear, the doctor is no problem after diagnosis confirmation.

Xu Xiaxing is old mechanic an Antarctic expedition, investigation has repeatedly driving snowmobile in the inland ice, this time with his rich experience of driving a snowmobile and flexible mind, just let he escaped this disaster. Two days later his body recovered completely heel we described the scene at that time, it was the snow car from the snow dragon boat lifted to the port side of the sea ice, he was driving a snowmobile snow dragon boat from port to starboard side of the bow to bypass the ice on the sleigh hauling, when just run to the snow dragon boat bow he suddenly felt, body sink, know well quickly accelerated, want to quickly rushed over, but be of no avail, a thin layer of ice was thick snow cover has been broken, the snowmobile in the accelerated subsidence. He wants to jump out of the vehicle, but the snow vehicle in running time is locked, then a moment to open the locked door in time, besides the snowmobile had been in the water sinking, the sea has no door, want to open the door is not possible. Be in grave in this occasion, he suddenly have a brain wave jumped into the driver seat accurately touch sunroof switch, and a hand she opened the window, when the sea from the window into the cab, in the impact of the sea, his other hand flexibly open sunroof, a pedal through the water impact force Cuan skylight the body, Cuan skylight have something put his foot stuck, he forced his boots pedal off, finally out of the rapid subsidence of the snowmobile. He braved the cold seawater invasion to strings, my head a few times against the ice, it is not found the hole in the ice, he put his hands up groping in the ice beneath, managed to explore into the hole in the ice, struggled to climb the Shanghai ice.

We listened to process this escape his ice Shen car breathtaking, for his calm and admire, if a person may not be so lucky, or if there are two people in the snow on the car at that time, as is usually the case on the copilot seat will sit a assist the people, it may be a person don't want to escape, when you feel the consequences. So in the Antarctic is full of danger, must always remain sober minded, to avoid accidents.
