The Xuelong 2 Polar Research Vessel is China's first independently built polar scientific research icebreaker, which was delivered in July 2019 for use. Xuelong 2 is the world's first polar scientific research icebreaker that adopts two-way icebreaking technology at the bow and stern, and is capable of continuous icebreaking voyage in 1.5-metre-thick ice environment, which fills the gap of China in the field of major equipment for polar scientific research. HUJI provides exclusive air-conditioning equipment for the ship's living compartment, equipment compartment and experimental compartment.
