China opened its first atmospheric monitoring station in Antarctica, the Zhongshan National Atmospheric Background Station, located in East Antarctica’s Larsmann Hills. The station will monitor climate changes and support global climate action by observing atmospheric component concentration changes. This marks a significant step in China’s scientific research and environmental monitoring efforts in the region. India also has stations in Antarctica, including Dakshin Gangotri, Maitri, and Bharati, which contribute to climate-related research.
