China's fourth Antarctic research station Taishan completed

China has completed its fourth Antarctic research station called Taishan after 45 days of hard work.

The Taishan station looks like a traditional Chinese lantern. Construction of it began in December last year. The 28 strong-team braved temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius, snowstorms, and high-altitude conditions to build the station. It can house as many as 20 people and will be used as a scientific research station during the Antarctic summers, lasting from December to March. Teams based there will provide logistical support and study the area's geology, glaciers, geo-magnetism and atmosphere.
