Abstract
China has begun Antarctic scientific research expeditions since 1984. The 30th Chinese Antarctic expedition summer team boarded the Xuelong vessel at Shanghai, China on November 7, 2013. This expedition team spent more than three months in Antarctica until the offloading of supplies and scientific activities were completed. Effective medical care plays an important role in ensuring scientific research expedition teams to complete their missions.[1] However, medical care of Antarctic expeditions is complex because the characteristics of medical conditions in Antarctic expeditions are largely unknown.[2] The present study describes the characteristics of medical conditions encountered in the 30th Chinese Antarctic summer scientific research expedition. Given this study results, a better and more effective medical care may be provided in future Antarctic scientific research expeditions.
