中智联合考察队将深入太平洋阿塔卡马海沟的未知深处。从瓦尔帕莱索港出发，搭乘中国科考船“探索一号”进行的为期三个月的任务旨在发现新物种并洞察地震和海啸。该合作让智利科学家使用其他国家没有的先进工具。
周一，中国科考船“探索一号”从智利港口城市瓦尔帕莱索出发，搭载研究人员展开为期三个月的考察，覆盖阿塔卡马海沟周边700公里（435英里）。阿塔卡马海沟是东太平洋最深且最少探索的区域之一。该考察历时三年筹备，由中国科学院深海科学与工程研究所和智利康塞普西翁大学千禧年海洋研究所领导。
考察委员会称，此次行动是该地区迄今规模最大的此类行动。智利大学1月9日声明指出：“多年来形成的联盟让智利科学家使用目前其他国家没有的工具，在一次任务中加速数年研究。”
任务包括33个研究站和近20次潜水器下潜，探测海沟深处。该任务对理解太平洋地震带沿线的俯冲过程至关重要，对中国、日本、朝鲜半岛和东南亚有直接影响。

A Chinese research ship has successfully tested a new electro-hydrostatic actuator capable of slicing undersea cables at depths up to 3,500 meters. The trial, conducted aboard the Haiyang Dizhi 2, bridges the gap from development to practical application, according to official reports. The demonstration coincides with heightened concerns over sabotage of global submarine cables.
Researchers have mapped a massive fan-shaped network of basins beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, linking several previously studied features into one large geological structure. The discovery, published in a 2026 study, offers new insights into the continent's tectonic past and its influence on current ice movement.
