About the author

Zhang Wenjing is a Chinese popular-science writer whose work focuses on glaciers, high plateaus, and polar scientific expeditions. Public information about him is limited, and details such as his birthplace, education, and professional career are not clearly documented. Judging from the four works held in the collection, his writing consistently centers on field scientific expeditions in which he took part: In Pursuit of Glaciers, Twenty Thousand Li on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, A Record of the Antarctic Expedition, and A Record of the Hailuogou Expedition. These works cover glacier landforms, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and specific regions such as Antarctica and Hailuogou. They fall between popular science and literary essays, conveying knowledge of geography, glaciers, and expedition environments while recording travel observations and on-site impressions in a documentary, narrative style. Through his writing, readers can learn about the natural features of glaciers and high-altitude regions and the everyday reality of scientific fieldwork.
