China to build two more Antarctic research stations by 2015

A summer station that can be used from December to March will be set up between the existing Zhongshan and Kunlun Stations to provide replenishment and other logistical support, the SOA said.
 
The station will be used to study geology, glaciers, geomagnetism and atmospheric science in Antarctica.
The station will allow researchers to carry out multi-disciplinary research on bio-ecology and satellite remote sensing, according to the SOA.
 
China's three existing Antarctic research stations are the Great Wall, Zhongshan and Kunlun stations.
