Wherever there’s a mystery, scientists will explore.
The majestic Mount Qomolangma, the highest point on Earth, has long been a beacon for explorers and scientists alike. In 2022, a monumental scientific expedition brought together 16 research teams composed of 270 dedicated scientists. Their mission: to uncover the secrets held within the Roof of the World.
This unprecedented expedition set a series of world records, including sending an observation aerostat to an altitude exceeding 9,000 meters, collecting ice and snow samples from the summit, establishing the world’s highest weather station, and obtaining extreme high-altitude ice core samples.
Now, the remarkable journey of these scientists is brought to life in stunning 4K ultra-high-definition in the documentary “Earth Summit Mission.” Premiering on CMG Mobile, CGTN’s website, and the CGTN app on August 5, this film offers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the challenges and triumphs of the largest-ever scientific expedition to Mount Qomolangma.
Unique to this documentary are the breathtaking images captured by two professional alpine cameramen who were integral members of the expedition team. Their first-person perspective provides viewers with an unparalleled experience of ascending the highest mountain on Earth, conveying not just the physical demands but also the emotional journey faced by the team.
“Earth Summit Mission” invites audiences around the world to witness the passion, perseverance, and ultimate triumph of this epic adventure. Through cutting-edge cinematography and compelling storytelling, the documentary showcases the relentless human spirit pushing the boundaries of exploration and scientific discovery.
Join the expedition and delve into the mysteries that Mount Qomolangma continues to unveil.
