海洋局发布雪龙号南极救援脱困大事记_新闻资讯

　　中新网1月8日电 国家海洋局网站今日发布“雪龙”船南极救援脱困大事记。北京时间7日17时50分，“雪龙”号成功冲出厚重的密集浮冰区，胜利突围。同日，被困南极浮冰区的俄罗斯客船“绍卡利斯基院士”号自行从密集浮冰中成功突围。

　　2013年11月7日，“雪龙”船驶离上海码头，踏上中国第30次南极科考征程。

　　12月2日，“雪龙”船在驶过西太平洋、南大洋，穿越西风带后，经过连续三昼夜艰难破冰，顺利抵达中国南极中山站外陆缘冰地带。

　　12月19日，“雪龙”船向东开始实施中国极地科考史上首次环南极大陆航行。对沿途气象、水文、海水、大气和冰情进行观测采样，以填补中国极地考察的多项空白。

　　12月25日，“雪龙”船获悉，载有74人的俄罗斯“绍卡利斯基院士”号客轮在600多海里以外的南极迪维尔海被浮冰困住，急需救援。“雪龙”船立即以最大航速赶往俄船遇险地点。

　　12月28日凌晨，在冒着极大危险穿越西风带气旋中心后，“雪龙”船终于挺进到距俄遇险船仅6.1海里处。但由于浮冰厚度和密集程度均已超出“雪龙”船破冰能力，“雪龙”船停止前进。随后赶来的法国“星盘”号和澳大利亚“南极光”号破冰船，由于同样原因在“雪龙”船身后数海里外停下脚步。

　　12月31日，鉴于冰情始终严峻，而天气持续好转，“雪龙”船决定用直升机救出俄船上所有乘客。

　　2014年1月2日，“雪龙”船上的“雪鹰12”直升机往返飞行6架次，将俄遇险船上的所有乘客全部安全转运到澳大利亚“南极光”号附近冰面，再由小艇把他们送至“南极光”号。

　　1月2日至3日间，“雪龙”船所在海域冰情突变，厚达三四米的浮冰在东风和东南风裹挟下将“雪龙”船围困。

　　1月3日，“雪龙”船受阻后，中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平立即作出重要指示，要求各有关方面协调配合，指导帮助中国南极科考队暨“雪龙”船脱困，确保人员安全。

　　1月4日，国家海洋局专门成立“雪龙”船脱困应急工作领导小组，全力组织“雪龙”船救援脱困。

　　1月6日凌晨，“雪龙”船启动主发动机开始拓宽“破冰跑道”，为突围做准备。

　　1月6日晚，“雪龙”船所在海域风向改为西风，风力逐渐加大，吹动“雪龙”船四周浮冰整体快速东移，其边缘浮冰已呈融化之态。

　　1月7日，凌晨“雪龙”船开始尝试破冰。17时50分左右，“雪龙”船突入一条水道，成功突破浮冰的重围。
