The scientific research of Namtso Lake is being carried out intensively. At 18:35 on July 12, in the central lake area of Namtso Lake, which is over 4,700 meters above sea level, the multinational joint scientific expedition team successfully obtained lake rock cores at a depth of 402.2 meters at the bottom of the lake after unremitting efforts. This is the first time that my country has successfully exceeded the 400-meter depth in drilling on a large lake on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is of great significance to my country's lake drilling and paleoclimate research.

Nam Co is located in the heart of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is the highest lake in the world with an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers and has important scientific research value. The core drilling of Nam Co Lake is the highest-altitude drilling project in the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) so far.
