Royal Research Ship (RRS) Discovery 皇家科考船-探索号

RRS Discovery is a multidisciplinary ship, specifically designed for the challenges of 21st century oceanography.

RRS发现号是一艘多学科的船，专门为21世纪的海洋学挑战而设计。

RRS Discovery was designed by A.S. Skipsteknisk and was delivered to the National Oceanography Centre on the 8 July 2013. Fitted with the most up-to-date and high-tech instruments and equipment, it is ideal for oceanic exploration.

RRS发现号由A.S. Skipsteknisk设计，于2013年7月8日交付给英国国家海洋中心。它配备了最先进的高科技仪器和设备，是探索海洋环境的理想选择。

With the ability to travel to remote and extreme oceanic environments, RRS Discovery is highly sophisticated and has the ability to operate in high sea states (up to sea-state 6).
The ship comes with sub-bottom profiling and multi-beam equipment for mapping the seabed, while her dynamic positioning capability means that Remotely Operated Vehicles can be used.
Her wide range of cranes and over-side gantries, with associated winches and wires, will allow many different types of equipment to be deployed from the ship.
These facilities and the many more listed below help support the marine science community as it undertakes research of national and global importance.

RRS发现号有能力前往偏远和极端的海洋环境，它具有高度的复杂性，并有能力在复杂海况（高达6级海况）下运行。该船配备了海底剖面测量和多波束设备，用于绘制海底地图，而她的动态定位能力意味着可以使用遥控操作的车辆。
她的起重机和侧边门架，以及相关的绞车和电线，将使许多不同类型的设备可以从船上部署。这些设施有助于支持海洋科学界进行具有国家和全球重要性的研究。

Greenland South-east coast

From 16th May to 23th May, the RRS Discovery was on the South East coast of Greenland near melting seaice. We stayed in order to avoid the risk of the storm.

Nuuk - Greenland’s captial city

On 30th May, the RRS Discovery was close to Nuuk at 9:00 am, the city was covered in fog, with only a few edges of buildings appearing from time to time. Fog disappeared quickly after
half hour later and gave us a clear view of the city.

Cov-Day！

Even with adequate personal protection in place prior to departure, COV19 virus was still pervasive. On the Sunday of the first week on board, four crew members felt unwell and were verified
to have tested positive, requiring self-quarantee in their cabins until turned negative. Meanwhile, masking, social distancing and staggered meals continue to be implemented to protect the health of
the rest of people.
