Vol 2 Chapter 1444: .Enter the ice bay (4/5)

Ilulissat Glacier Bay is located on the west coast of Greenland, about 250 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. It is very close to the residential area. Although Ilulissat is a small city, it is spread out widely. Some residential houses, restaurants, hotels, etc. are open.

  This season when Qin Shiou is here, it is suitable for watching the aurora, but not suitable for traveling.

  The little doorman told them that if they came here in summer, the snow along the ice bay would melt, exposing small weeds and shrubs, and there were a lot of green shades, much more beautiful than it is now.

  In the territory of Ilulissat now, except for black and white, this is a world of ice and snow, and it is also a world without color.

  Of course, this refers to the ground. The splendor of the sky is only seen in Qin Shiou's life. If the charm of the night sky in the world can be divided into ten parts, then the night sky in the Arctic Circle will occupy eight parts!

  Of course, Daguan Qin felt that the night sky of Farewell Island should also be shared, and the rest should be shared.

  The sled car was gliding, and the magnificent glacier bay gradually revealed its vision.

  Each year, Greenland transports a large amount of ice caps into the ocean. Ilulissat Glacier Bay is one of the estuary into the sea and the most active glacier in the world.

  The little doorman introduced them: “This fjord is very long, gentlemen, but it’s winter, and there are too many glaciers drifting on the water. We can’t see very far. In fact, it’s 40 kilometers long!”

   "Wow, that's amazing." Wei Ni laughed in cooperation.

  The little doorman twisted his nose and raised his head proudly: "Of course, this is a world heritage, I mean. What is the world cultural and material heritage of this ice bay."

  Qin Shiou casually corrected: "It is a world material heritage, this bay should not be connected with culture."

  What he said was right, but the little doorman expressed dissatisfaction and introduced him to an art gallery on the shore. It is full of paintings or sculptures made by tourists for the ice bay, and he insists that the ice bay is full of cultural atmosphere.

The source of   Ice Bay is the Jacob Harbor Glacier in the eastern region, which is the largest flow glacier in the northern hemisphere, which can flow 20 to 35 meters per day. Every year, 20 billion tons of icebergs are broken and discharged into the fjord!

  Qin Shiou and others parked their sleds and snowmobiles on the bank, standing on the riverbank and looking down, the magnificent icebergs were drifting along the current.

The sound of'Gab Gaba' in the ice bay constantly sounds. Qin Shiou knows that this is the terrible sound made by the cracking of ice in the water, and there will be a loud bang from time to time. This is a big ice falling from the glacier. , Can splash huge waves after falling into the water.

  Even if the winter temperature here always stays below minus ten degrees Celsius, the glacier still has no ice. Because icebergs continued to flow downstream, they destroyed the frozen river. Not to mention that it's just a frozen river, even if it's a steel plate, an iceberg can be crushed.

Looking at the icebergs drifting slowly, Winnie exclaimed: "I have never seen such a large iceberg. The ice floes in St. John's are very small. I think if I watch the icebergs closer, I must feel better. Spectacular."

   Hearing what he said, the little door boy gurgled his eyes and ran away.

  In spring, the ice floes on the sea in St. John’s are the products of melting and fragmentation of these icebergs. After the ruptured icebergs flow out of the sea, they initially follow the current to the north and then turn to the south, so that they can flow into the Atlantic Ocean.

  Some of the larger icebergs often have to drift to the surface of the sea at the same latitude as New York before they melt, but that was before. The global temperature is now rising. The influence of the greenhouse effect has spread to the Arctic, so the iceberg will melt away before leaving the Canadian waters.

  The little doorman ran back after leaving for a while, and said happily: "You have to thank me, I found a sightseeing boat. You can go to the river to see the iceberg more clearly, and you can also play rafting!"

  Following is a middle-aged white man. He came over and asked: "Do you want to go to the river to see? But the speed must be fast, only two hours from the night, we must come back before dark."

In Ilulissat, when the snow melts in April, the sightseeing boats go out to sea. Now this season is very dangerous. As this person said, you have to come back before the sun disappears, or you just wait. Burial under the iceberg.

  Qin Shiou shook hands with him, then looked at Wei Ni and Hei Dao and others, Hei Dao shook his head vigorously, fucking, there are glaciers everywhere in this bay. Going out to sea is a life-threatening one! It's more desperate than fighting terrorism in the Middle East!

  Vini did not express her position, but was a little moved.

  Seeing this, Qin Shiou hadn't said it yet, and the black knives and his party immediately looked like earthy faces, all right, ready to kill.

  Sure enough, Qin Shiou said to the owner of the ship: “OK, what's the charge? Let’s go to sea and go around, just stay around and just look at the iceberg.”

  The receiver squeaked, "Boss, can I watch snowmobiles here?"

  The little doorman said unhappily: “We don’t have a thief here! You know, the public security in our city is the best in the world! The best!”

  Shouqibao likes to tease children, and said: "How do you judge? I also said that St. Johns has the best security."

  The little doorman asked: "How many policemen do you have in St. John's?"

   was taken aback by the air bag, and inexplicably said: "How do I know this? Maybe two hundred? Three hundred?"

  The little doorman smiled happily: "We have only six police officers in Ilulissat! Doesn't this explain the problem?"

  Qin Shiou lazily caress about these five nymphs. He said: "This is voluntary. If you don't want to board the ship, just wait here."

  Shouqibao suddenly smiled, and the black knife glared at him, and said angrily: "What about professional ethics? We are now bodyguards, understand?"

  Qin Shiou secretly said that if there is an accident at sea, he might still be protecting whom.

  Going to the sea is not just to watch icebergs, there is another project, which is floating in the sea of ​​ice.

  The boat they took was a wooden boat, only six meters long. It seemed a bit dangerous for so many people to board.

  Hei Dao's face turned pale, they sat down honestly after getting on the boat, and kept drawing a cross on their chests.

  Qin Shiou's eyes lit up when he saw this ship, and said, "I have seen this kind of ship. This ship should have a long history, right?"

   said this because the place where he saw this kind of ship was the bottom of the sea, where he found the black axe pirate ship in the North Sea. At that time, there were four such boats hanging on the stern of the pirate ship.

  The pirate ship has sunk into the sea for more than three hundred years. This ship must have a long history.

The ship owner gave him a surprised look and said, "Have you seen CHALPUPAS? Oh, this is the name of this kind of boat. It used to be a whaling boat. Our ancestors went out to sea on such a fragile wooden boat. Fishing for whales." (To be continued~^~)
