In this Chinese name, the family name is Qu.

Qu Tanzhou (Chinese: 曲探宙) is the director of the Chinese Arctic and Antarctic Administration.[1][2]

In 2007 Qu Tanzhou was the director of China's Polar Office of the State Oceanic Administration.[3]

According to The Age in January 2010 Qu Tanzhou was part of a high-level delegation of senior officials that traveled to the Antarctic, led by Xu Shaoshi, China's Minister for Land and Resources.[1] The delegation travelled aboard the Xue Long, China's icebreaker.

Jo Chandler, writing in The Age, interviewed Qu when he visited Australia's Antarctic Casey Station.[1]
