Earth Summit Mission

"Earth Summit Mission" is the first 4K documentary recording a scientific expedition.

The 60-minute documentary is a record of the second Chinese scientific expedition to Mount Qomolangma, which took place in the summer of 2022. It involved around 200 scientists, led by Yao Tandong from the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In the course of the expedition, the scientists set a number of records, from collecting ice and snow samples from the highest point on Earth and setting up the world's highest weather station to sending up an observation aerostat to an altitude of over 9,000 meters.
