LHASA, May 25 (Xinhua) — The 2023 Mount Qomolangma expedition is part of the second comprehensive scientific expedition on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, launched in 2017.
Since the end of April, a total of 170 scientists in five teams have been conducting research on water, ecology and human activities in the Mount Qomolangma region, aiming to reveal the mechanism of environmental change and optimize the barrier system. of ecological security in the plateau.
