Snow Dragon, freed after 13 hours continue to Snow Dragon Antarctic expedition journey | | | Antarctic snow Dragon _ news
January 8, according to the State Oceanic Administration Web site news, January 7, Beijing time, after 13 hours of hard work, the "Snow Dragon" boat highlight the sea ice to compete, heading for the water district. At present, the "Snow Dragon" boat speed of 9 knots easily sailing on the sea, continue to set foot on Antarctica, central scientific journey. Marine website published an article today uses "Snow Dragon" vessel freed 13 hours.
January 7, Beijing time, "Snow Dragon" polar research vessels, cab there was a burst of applause and cheers. After 13 hours of hard work, the "Snow Dragon" boat finally highlighting the sea ice to compete, heading for the water district.
7th, longed-westerly wind was forecast "to come". "Snow Dragon" marine waters where winds from the Southeast to westerly wind, wind 3 ~4 level, edge ice beginning to show signs of loosening.
At about 5 o'clock, "Snow Dragon" boat began trying to break the ice. In the narrow space that is surrounded by ice, the "Snow Dragon" vessel slowly reverse, accelerate, forward, ice-breaking, steering, gently circle. After a few hours of motor operation, the "Snow Dragon" boat channel was widened again.
Captain Wang Jianzhong said, "Snow Dragon" boat attempted to breakthrough to the East, but under the influence of huge ice floes on either side, turned to failure. Although the "Snow Dragon" boat in the ice State, but far exceeded the density, thickness of ice floes "Snow Dragon" ice-breaking capability of the ship, is very difficult.
The morning of 7th sky visibility was poor, and only 500 metres or so. From the effects of weather, changes in ocean currents. "Snow Dragon" vessel began to move with it, moves a distance of approximately one nautical mile. "Snow Dragon" ahead the icebergs and pack ice around the ship moved with the whole, "Snow Dragon" vessel with icebergs and pack ice location not much.
"Snow Dragon" the ice around the ship remains very dense complex, breaking out is very difficult. But the 30th Antarctic expedition team leader Liu shunlin believes that as ocean currents move the boat, "at least this is a good sign."
Afternoon, players gathered on the bridge, waiting for "Snow Dragon" breakout success. "Snow Dragon" vessel location visibility is reduced again, only three hundred or four hundred metres from the "Snow Dragon" boat about 500 meters of an iceberg, "disappeared" in sight. To ensure the safety of ships, the "Snow Dragon" gingerly steering the ship.
17:20, a "Snow Dragon" washed out to sea ice under siege "waterways of life" appears--"Snow Dragon" boat bow South-East direction along the ice, eyeballing about 10 meters wide. Pilot, a South-eastern direction is the "Snow Dragon" ships to break through the favourable direction. Subsequently, the "Snow Dragon" rapid reorientation of the ship, sailed ice 1.1.
10 m, 15 m, 20 m ... ... And wider ice. After 30 minutes, the "Snow Dragon" ahead and suddenly isolated pieces of ice floating in the pristine Ocean.
"Washed out! "Have a day and a night to rest Captain Wang Jianzhong let out a yell. Moments into thunderous applause at the scene in the presence of the expedition as they embrace each other. With the "Snow Dragon" boat pulled out of the heavy ice in the news, driving more people get more, some hold the telescope at a distance watching, ran to the bow photo, was also the "Snow Dragon", Political Commissar of the ship proposal, snack in the evening celebrations.
In ensuring the "Snow Dragon" after the boat out, Liu shunlin the good news of immediately reported to the State Oceanic Administration.
At present, the "Snow Dragon" sailing ship is at latitude 66 ° 45 ' East longitude 144 ° 50 ' water of the Southern Ocean area, only sporadically on the sea ice, "Snow Dragon" boat speed of 9 knots easily sailing over the sea, continue to set foot on Antarctica, central scientific journey.

雪龙号脱困历经13小时 继续南极科考征程|雪龙|南极|雪龙号_新闻资讯
中新网1月8日电 据国家海洋局网站消息，北京时间1月7日17时50分，经过13个小时的艰苦努力，“雪龙”船突出海冰重围，驶向清水区。目前，“雪龙”船以9节的航速轻松地航行在海面，继续踏上环南极洲的科学考察征程。海洋局网站今日刊文详解“雪龙”船脱困的13个小时。
北京时间1月7日17时50分，“雪龙”号极地考察船驾驶室传来一阵鼓掌和欢呼声。在经过13个小时的艰苦努力，“雪龙”船终于突出海冰重围，驶向清水区。
7日凌晨，盼望已久的西风终于如预报的一样“如约而至”。“雪龙”船所在海域风向由东南风变为偏西风，风力3级~4级，边缘冰开始有了松动的迹象。
5时左右，“雪龙”船开始尝试破冰。在被冰包围的狭窄空间，“雪龙”船缓缓地倒车、加速、前进、破冰、转向，小心翼翼地循环往复。经过几个小时的机动操作，“雪龙”船所在的水道再次被拓宽了。
船长王建忠说，“雪龙”船曾尝试向东突破，但受两侧巨大浮冰影响，转向失败。虽然“雪龙”船保持破冰状态，但浮冰的密度、厚度远远超过“雪龙”船的破冰能力，前进非常困难。
7日上午，天空能见度很差，仅有500米左右。受天气的影响，洋流发生了变化。“雪龙”船随之开始移动，移动距离大约有一海里。“雪龙”船前方的冰山与周围的大块浮冰也随船一起移动，整体来看，“雪龙”船与冰山以及浮冰的位置变化不大。
“雪龙”船周围冰情依然非常密集复杂，突围十分艰难。但中国第30次南极考察队领队刘顺林却认为，船随着洋流移动，“这至少是一个好的信号”。
下午，一些队员聚集在驾驶台旁，等待着“雪龙”突围成功。“雪龙”船所在位置能见度再次降低，仅有三四百米，距离“雪龙”船500米左右的一座冰山也“消失”在人们的视线中。为确保船舶安全，“雪龙”船小心翼翼地进行转向。
17时20分，一条有助“雪龙”冲出海冰重围的“生命水道”出现了——“雪龙”船船头东南方向出现了一道冰隙，目测大约有10米宽。驾驶员说，东南方向正是“雪龙”船进行突围的有利方向。随后，“雪龙”船迅速调整方向，朝冰隙一点一点地驶去。
10米，15米，20米……冰隙越来越宽。30分钟后，“雪龙”船前方豁然开朗，只见几块零星的浮冰漂在清澈的海面上。
“冲出来了！”已经一天一夜没有休息的船长王建忠发出一声大喊。现场瞬间发出雷鸣般的掌声，在场的考察队员们纷纷互相拥抱。随着“雪龙”船驶出重冰区的消息传出，驾驶台的人越聚越多，有的拿着望远镜朝远处观看情况，有的跑到船头照相，还有人向“雪龙”船政委提议，晚上加餐庆祝。
在确保“雪龙”船脱困之后，刘顺林立即将这一好消息向国家海洋局作了报告。
目前，“雪龙”船正航行在南纬66°45′、东经144°50′的南大洋清水区，海面只有零星浮冰，“雪龙”船以9节的航速轻松地航行在海面，继续踏上环南极洲的科学考察征程。
