On this day, 37 years ago, on November 14, 1988 (October 6, 1988 in the lunar calendar), Chinese and American mountaineers conquered Vincennes Peak in the Antarctic. On November 14, 1988, three China members of the China-US Antarctic Vincennes Peak Mountaineering Expedition Team, Li Zhixin, Wang Yongfeng and Jin Qingmin, will leave Beijing for San Francisco in the United States tomorrow morning. They will join the three American team members, then enter the Antarctic via Miami, Santiago, the capital of Chile, and Argentina, and arrive at the highest peak in the Antarctic at 78 degrees 35 minutes south latitude and 85 degrees 25 minutes west longitude, and Vincennes Peak at an altitude of 5140 meters. The plan for China and the United States to jointly climb and scientifically study Mount Vincennes was proposed last year. Both sides each have three members. Among the Chinese members, Li Zhixin and Wang Yongfeng are from the China Mountaineering Team. Among them, Li Zhixin climbed the summit of Mount Everest on May 5, 1988, and Wang Yongfeng reached the height of 8000 meters on the south slope. Another female member, Jin Qingmin, is from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources. She has previously worked at the Great Wall Station in Antarctica. Three members of the China mountaineering team, Li Zhixin, Wang Yongfeng and Jin Qingmin, are all majoring in geology, which makes this capable team have the conditions to complete the dual tasks of mountaineering and scientific research to go to the Antarctic. Vincennes Peak is a high mountain that protrudes from an ice bed of about 2000 meters, with a climbing height of more than 3500 meters. Mount Everest, the world's first peak, climbs 3800 meters from the base camp of 5154 meters to the summit. In this sense, climbing Vincennes Peak The difficulty is similar to climbing Mount Everest. In 1966 and 1983, some players from the United States and Japan climbed Vincennes Peak. The China team members who went to the Antarctic this time were the first group of team members to go overseas for mountain climbing after the opening of China's mountains.
