March 21 marked the first "World Day for Glaciers". The Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences held the second Qinghai-Tibet Glacier and Development Scientific Action sharing event in Lhasa. On that day, the Third Pole Ice Core Repository also opened to the public.
The repository currently stores over 3,300 meters of ice cores, including the earliest ice cores extracted in 1987, ice cores taken from the highest point of Mount Qomolangma, known in the West as Mount Everest, and the world's longest ice cores from mountain glaciers. These ice core records are valuable "natural archives" of global climate change.
