Chapter 426 Giant Wheel Killer
Chapter 426 Giant Wheel Killer
Jack is a good tour guide, and the price of [-] Danish kroner a day is also worthy of his hard work this day.
Under his leadership, Yang Jing and the others visited the University of Greenland, which they thought was shabby at first.After visiting this university, Yang Jing and Ge Ge knew that this university looks very small on the surface, but inside it is very interesting.
Whether it is faculty or library collections, the University of Greenland is very good, at least much better than imagined.
The only thing that made Yang Jing and Ge Ge feel a little uncomfortable was that the university was actually built next to Nuuk Airport, and the straight-line distance from the airport runway was even less than 700 meters.
"No way, Nuuk is so big, and the terrain is constantly undulating. It is not easy to find a suitable place to build an airport. However, although our airport is a capital airport, there are not many planes that can take off and land every year, and most of them are Propellers. That kind of jetliner cannot take off and land on this runway with a length of only 950 meters. The noise of a propeller plane is relatively much quieter.”
What he said was so straightforward.
But having said that, Yang Jing has never seen such a shabby Capital Airport.Although Nuuk is the smallest capital of a country in the world, at least you are also the capital of a country. As one of the external appearance projects, you should at least build your own capital airport better.The airports in many third- and fourth-tier small cities in China are better than this one.
And what the hell is that golf course between the University of Greenland and the airport?If it hadn't been for Jack's insistence that this is the only golf course in Gotthob, Yang Jing and Gege could barely make out some greens, and they really couldn't believe that this was actually a golf course.
The golf courses in other places are either picturesque green or grassy. Even the golf course that Yang Jing and Gege saw on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain a few days ago is more than 3000 meters above sea level, but it is still there. It is the reflection of green grass and snow-capped mountains, and the scenery is as beautiful as a painting.
But what the hell is going on here?Is the turf of the golf course all boreal moss?It seems that the turf of public football fields in many small cities in China is a hundred times stronger than this one!
It's too shabby. Is there wood?
Finally, after witnessing a series of "the most" such as the most shabby Capital Airport in the world, the smallest Capital University, and the golf course most like a football field, Yang Jing and Gege finally couldn't bear to go shopping anymore.
But having said that, this is definitely a very wonderful experience. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no matter what others said, they would not believe that a country with a per capita GDP five times that of China would be so shabby.
Absolutely learned a lot!
Reading ten thousand volumes of books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, the ancestors are really honest!
However, the lunch at noon was full of smiles on the faces of those who ate it.
Compared with the seafood dinner in St. Johns three days ago, the seafood dinner here is undoubtedly better.
Yang Jing and the others had a great time eating seafood from the cold zone of the Labrador Sea or Baffin Bay.Precious arctic ginseng, delicious arctic prawns, and queen crabs that are about the size of a pot cover when spread out. These seafood, which are hard to see outside, are plentiful here. You can eat them if you want, and the price is cheap expensive.
So, the two foodies from China and the five more edible foodies from San Francisco, USA, really enjoyed eating one.
After lunch and a short rest, the group went out to sea on a yacht to watch whales under the leadership of Jack.
Nuuk is a world-renowned whale watching sanctuary. Although Greenland is located in the extreme north, it has many pure and flawless glaciers, and the excellent seawater environment has bred as many as [-] species of whales.
If you come to Nuuk to watch whales in winter, you can only see three kinds of whales, narwhals, beluga whales and bowhead whales, that is, Greenland whales, but between May and September every year, in this area Up to fifteen species of whales can be seen in the sea, such as humpback whales, fin whales, minke whales, fin whales and other whales.
Yang Jing and the others saw a pair of humpback whales in the afternoon.
The humpback whale is a medium-sized whale, not a big one among whales.However, it has a pair of super long forewings and a very complex cry.Humpback whales are known as "ocean singers". Their calls are extremely complicated. Once they call, it is really a setback, especially when a pair of humpback whales start singing at the same time, the sound is really like A concerto.
And this kind of big guy also likes to jump out of the water. When they jump out of the water when they are happy, their posture is extremely vigorous.
Once this kind of whale appears, it must be in pairs. When you see one humpback whale, you can see the other. It is definitely a model of deep love between husband and wife.
On the return trip, Yang Jing and the others were fortunate enough to see a group of about ten narwhals.
This kind of whale with a unicorn more than two meters long has a body length of only four or five meters, which is considered small among whales.However, because of the unique horn of the narwhal, it is easy to associate with the legend of the unicorn, so for centuries, people believed that it has medical effects and even has magical powers.
You must know that in the Middle Ages when the value of narwhal horns was the highest, the price of "narwhal horns" was ten times that of gold of the same weight.Legend has it that Queen Elizabeth of England received a narwhal horn worth £1, which at the time could have bought a castle.
It is precisely because the narwhal has such a peculiar long horn that for a long time, this kind of whale was almost killed to extinction.
Like the ivory of an elephant, every man is innocent and conceives his crime!
But it is much better now. Under the vigorous protection of various countries, this once endangered animal has now regained its prosperity.
Compared with the shabby Nuuk, watching whales in the sea is undoubtedly much better.The only pity is that I didn't see the largest northern blue whale when I went out to sea to watch whales today.
However, it was quite a fun day to play, at least Yang Jing and Gege had a great time playing, and that was enough.
The next day, Yang Jing and Gege slept until the sun was up, and it was really the sun.Here in Nuuk, the sun comes out after three o’clock in the morning, and it’s after seven o’clock in the morning, isn’t it the sun rising three poles?
Lin Dan didn't get up. This guy went back to the boat last night and took a pair of blindfolds. He finally got a good night's sleep.
Yang Jing and Ge Ge didn't bother him either, let him sleep for a while.After breakfast, Yang Jing and Gege took four bodyguards to the Katuyak Cultural Center, and then visited the Nuuk Art Museum and the National Museum of Greenland.
It wasn't until after four o'clock in the afternoon that Yang Jing received a call from Andre, saying that he was leaving tonight and asked them to come back.
This small capital city was almost done shopping, and the two rushed back to the pier, boarded the Blue Whale and continued on.
The huge Blue Whale sails in the Davis Strait. To the east is Greenland, the largest island in the world, and to the west is the fifth largest island in the world, Baffin Island in Canada.
In fact, since crossing the Labrador Sea, the Arctic Archipelago, the second largest archipelago in the world, has appeared west of this route.
As the second largest archipelago in the world after the Malay Archipelago, the Arctic Archipelago is not as fragmented as the Malay Archipelago. The archipelago at the northern end of the North American continent is more famous for its large-scale islands.The area of Baffin Island ranks fifth in the world, while Victoria Island to the west of Baffin Island is the eighth largest island in the world. The first destination of Yang Jing's voyage, Ellesmere Island, is It is the tenth largest island in the world.
This vast archipelago was originally part of the North American continent, but after the end of the Quaternary glaciers, the sea level rose, causing these islands to separate from the North American continent, forming a large fragmented island on the sea.
The farther north you go, the longer the sun stays in the sky, especially after crossing the Arctic Circle, the sun in the sky is like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, swaying above the horizon, even if it falls below the horizon, it seems That is to say, in the blink of an eye, the head will reappear.The further north you go, the more severe this phenomenon is, which is the famous polar day phenomenon.
At the same time, the further north one goes, the lower the temperature. Even though it is the hottest summer season of the year in the south, there is still no trace of summer here.
After the Blue Whale sailed out of the Davis Strait and entered Baffin Bay, ice appeared on the sea.
In fact, the northward waters of Baffin Bay, including the upcoming Smith Strait, are open to navigation in August and September, and this sea area in July is still frozen.
Fortunately, the ice on the sea surface during this period is not thick, and the Blue Whale is an AC1-class icebreaker, so it is easy to deal with this kind of ice that is only a few centimeters thick. Just slow down.
When the Blue Whale sails on this route, it always stays as close to the center of the route as possible. After all, this place has entered the Arctic Circle, especially in summer, and sailing is a relatively dangerous thing.
Whether it is a glacier that falls off from Greenland or Ellesmere Island, it will form icebergs that can only be seen a little bit. Driven by ocean currents, this iceberg, which is called a giant ship killer, will continue to swim along the coastline. Once a ship encounters this thing, the end will be very tragic.
The famous Titanic was very unfortunate to encounter these big guys and then sank.
Although the Blue Whale is an icebreaker, it still keeps a respectful distance from this kind of giant ship killer.Fortunately, the Blue Whale is a scientific research ship with extremely modern equipment. The iceberg radar on the ship can detect icebergs hidden under the sea level from a long distance, and then send out an alarm to remind the captain to avoid it.
After entering Smith Strait, the speed of the ship has dropped from 14.5 knots to 10 knots, and finally dropped to the current 7 knots.
There is no way, the ice in the Smith Strait is already 100 centimeters thick, and some rampant icebergs appear from time to time.Compared with the Davis Strait, which is [-] kilometers at its narrowest point, this strait is simply too narrow.The widest part of this long and narrow strait is only more than [-] kilometers, and the narrow part is less than [-] kilometers.
When sailing in this strait, one must be careful and careful.
