此次完成气象站架设后，就形成珠峰地区8个气象梯度观测站点，这是中国在这座海拔8848.

86米的世界最高峰上进行全面科学考察的主要任务之一。

Also on Wednesday, 13 members of the expedition team reached the summit of Mount Qomolangma.

当日，13名珠峰科考队员成功登顶珠穆朗玛峰。

At the summit, the squad measured the thickness of the ice and snow using high-accuracy radar for the first time, and collected samples for further research.

除了架设气象站，登顶科考队员还完成了利用高精度雷达测量冰雪厚度、采集冰雪样品等峰顶科考任务。
