Wilderness Survival Live Room

Chapter 8 Under the Ice Tunnel
There is always the risk of frostbite in the mountains, the parts to be careful are the extremities including hands, feet and face.The first sign of frostbite is a reddening of the skin, which eventually turns black.I've seen severe frostbite on Everest climbers, it's really scary and painful. "Although Xiang Qianqian did not stop, the ice cracks and some particularly spectacular icicles along the way made him take a lot of photos for the camera.

"This ridge leads me to the north facing slopes where there is less sun and still covered with snow and I'm starting to wish I still had the skis, the weather isn't looking great yet and getting stuck in bad weather could kill me Bao, I have to go down the mountain quickly, and the fog has started not far away. The situation is not a second away!" Xiang Qianqian saw that the foggy slope was just the route he wanted to walk, but this slope was more than 300 feet, " I could go down here, but it would take hours, it's such a waste of time. I'm going to use the mountaineer's abseiling technique. But to be honest, I really want to go back and get my skis now, like this Going down is not as fast as skiing down."

Xiang Qianqian took off the backpack on his back, "When sliding down, insert the ice ax into the ground to slow down the sliding speed. I don't have an ice ax, so I folded the snow battle in half instead." Xiang Qianqian sat on the slope, watching Looking at the very high slope below, he said: "Honestly, watching the snow build up, I can't even see the end of the downhill, I am very worried about this downhill. Because this technique has its risks, but it can be done in an emergency. Help, if the stick is not inserted hard enough, the sliding speed will be too fast, but if it is inserted too hard, the stick may fall out of the hand."

Xiang Qianqian inserted the ice stick into the ground, then pressed it with his left hand, and put his right hand near his head to protect his eyes. He had to ensure that his sight was normal, and then he flattened his body and began to land.But the sliding speed was too fast, and Xiang Qianqian's heart couldn't keep calm under the constant acceleration, allowing his body to independently start to protect itself. He had already changed his body several times during the constant slide, Xiang Qianqian Because of his fear, he started to kick his legs continuously, until his left hand could no longer hold down the ice stick, and instead he grabbed the ice stick with his left hand. During a body change, his body could no longer maintain its original posture and was turned over. Come over, face down, grab the ice stick with your left hand and right hand, and try not to let your face hit the ground.

All this just happened within a few minutes. The sliding speed continued to increase as the acceleration increased. The force of the ice stick's descent continued to increase, and the force preventing it from falling became smaller in comparison. The slippery speed exceeds the incense to make money.Xiang Qiangqian grabbed the ice stick tightly, but its speed was too high, and after five seconds, Xiang Qiangqian changed his body posture again, making his head face down, his two hands grasping the ice stick, and his feet pointing up.

Faced with this irresistible force, Xiang Qianjin opened his mouth in fear and screamed, but he didn't dare to make too much noise, because screaming loudly here is too sensitive.

However, the terrain in front began to become flat, and the ice stick got stuck on the flat ground in less than ten seconds, and Xiang Qianqian also managed to stop his body.

He lay on the ground gasping for breath, thinking in his heart, this is really Timo's stimulation, the speed is too fast, and I will die from the stimulation.

However, he said that he could not swear: "I have descended a few times before, but I have never descended such a steep and long-distance slope. I estimate that my speed just now was 50 kilometers per hour. The average speed of a bicycle is 15 kilometers per hour. Hours, the speed of the bicycle in the bicycle race is [-] to [-] kilometers per hour, which means that I just almost caught up with the professional cyclist. But this also greatly shortened the time for me to go down the mountain. Phew. .”

Xiang made money and looked back at the slope he came down, it was amazing my brother!
"But there is still a long way to go. I have now reached the glaciers. There are more than [-] glaciers in Alaska. The glaciers have the largest freshwater resources on earth, but the problem is that the glaciers are full of gaps between ice and ice. Ice valleys are often covered with layers of snow, and the only safe way to travel is to lock the rope and go with a companion, so that even if you really fall into the glacier, you can be rescued as soon as possible.” Xiang makes money Hold the ice stick and poke on the ice constantly to judge whether you can move forward.However, there is one ice surface that is too slippery, and there is still a slight slope. After Xiang Qianqian fell, he could only protect his important parts as much as possible, and then climbed up again after skating.

"I don't have climbing equipment, so I have to reach solid ground as soon as possible. Damn, this fall really hurt me. Let me take it easy." Xiang Qianqian stood up, his knees hurt a little, so he had to walk gently Cross the ice and come to the shore.

"But I'm lucky. There is solid ground on both sides of the glacier, but I can't walk stably wearing ski boots, and my feet are a little injured now. Now I really want to be like an old man, leaning on an ice stick Go down." Xiang Qianqian continued to walk a few steps forward without stopping.

"Now these boots are a bit like lead boots. They are so heavy. Looking at the situation here, you may die if you stay here overnight. You must not stop, you can only continue to go down."

After walking for a while, Xiang Qianqian could already see the end of the glacier.

Seeing the place where the glacier came out of the mountain, Xiang Qiangjin really let out a sigh of relief. At least all this proves that his choice is correct.

After walking for a certain distance, you can see the water flowing from the melting ice and snow.

"Finally, I'm about to leave this land of ice and snow, but have you seen it? The end of the glacier still gave me a test, a dangerous obstacle!" Xiang Qianqian walked to the side of the steep cliff.

"This is the bottom of the glacier, and the ice water drops steeply, forming a waterfall of about 40 feet. I am wearing ski boots and have no rope. It is impossible to climb down. I have to find another way to go down." There are three waterfalls in front of Xiang Qianqian. The waterfall is 40 feet wide and [-] feet high. The water inside is melted ice and snow.

"I have to go down, the only question is how?"

Xiang looked around in distress, "I found another way to go down, next to it. Look, there is a tunnel under the ice that goes straight into the glacier. This is a tunnel formed by softened water flowing under the ice, but this The tunnel can take me out."

The inside of this tunnel is light blue, and the ground is covered with melted water. Xiang Qianqian walks carefully in it.
