A China-Nepal joint scientific expedition team has completed the first full-depth ice core drilling at the summit of Mount Qomolangma on the Nepali side. The team conducted multi-gradient ice and snow core sampling as they advanced from the 6,000-meter altitude area on the southern slope of Mount Qomolangma toward the summit at 8,848.86 meters. The expedition also aimed to complete scientific research tasks, such as measuring the temperature of the ice cave at the summit.
