Chapter 1468

    Ilulissat ice Bay is located on the West Bank of Greenland, 250 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, and is very close to the residential area. Although Ilulissat is a small city, it has a wide spread. There are some residential houses, restaurants and hotels on the ice Bay coast.


    Qin Shiou came this season, suitable for watching the aurora, but not suitable for tourism.


    The little doorman told them that if they came here in summer, the snow along the ice Bay would melt, exposing weeds and shrubs. There were many shade, which was much more beautiful than now.


    Now in Ilulissat, in addition to black and white, this is an ice and snow world and a world without color.


    Of course, this refers to the ground. The gorgeous sky is the only thing Qin Shiou has seen in his life. If the charm of the night sky in the world can be divided into ten, the night sky in the Arctic circle should account for eight!


    Of course, senior officials of Qin felt that the night sky of farewell island should also take a share, and others should take a share.


    The sledge glided, and the spectacular Glacier Bay gradually showed its vision.


    Every year, Greenland transports a large number of ice caps into the sea. Ilulissat ice Bay is one of the sea entrances to sea glaciers and the location of the most active glaciers in the world.


    The little gate boy introduced them: "this fjord is very long, gentlemen, but it''s winter. There are too many glaciers drifting on the water surface. We can''t see it far away. In fact, it''s 40 kilometers long!"


    "Wow, that''s amazing." Winnie smiled.


    The little doorman twisted his nose, raised his head proudly and said, "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''s a world material heritage. This bay should not be compatible with culture."


    He was right, but the little doorman was not convinced. He introduced him to an art museum on the shore, which was full of paintings or sculptures made by tourists for the ice Bay. He insisted that the ice Bay was full of cultural flavor.


    The source of the ice Bay is the Jacob port glacier in the eastern region. It is the glacier with the largest flow in the northern hemisphere. It can flow 20 to 35 meters every day, and 20 billion tons of icebergs will collapse and discharge into the fjord every year!


    Qin Shiou and others stopped the sledge and snow motorcycle on the bank, stood on the bank and looked down. Magnificent icebergs were drifting along the current.


    The sound of "quack quack" kept ringing in the ice Bay. Qin Shiou knew that this was the terrible sound made by the cracking of ice in the water. From time to time, there would be a loud "bang". This was a large ice piece falling from the glacier, which could splash huge waves after falling into the water.


    Even if the winter temperature here remains below minus 10 degrees Celsius, the glaciers still do not freeze, because icebergs continue to flow downstream, which destroy the frozen river. Don''t say it''s just frozen river. Even steel plates and icebergs can break.


    Looking at the icebergs drifting slowly, Winnie exclaimed, "I''ve never seen such a large iceberg. The floating ice in St. John''s is very small. I think it will be more spectacular if I go near to watch the icebergs."


    After listening to his words, the little doorboy turned his eyes and ran away.


    In spring, the floating ice on the sea surface of St. John''s is the product of the melting and fragmentation of these icebergs. After the broken icebergs flow out of the sea, they first flow north along the sea and then turn south, so they can flow into the Atlantic Ocean.


    Some large icebergs often have to drift to the sea at the same latitude as New York before melting. However, that was before. Now the global temperature is rising and the influence of the greenhouse effect has spread to the Arctic, so the icebergs will melt away before leaving the Canadian sea.


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


    Followed by a middle-aged white man, he came and asked, "do you want to go to the river? But the speed must be fast. It''s only two hours away from the night. We must come back before dark. "


    Ilulissat, there is no sightseeing boat to go to sea until the ice and snow melt in April. Now this season is very dangerous. As the man said, you have to come back before the sun disappears, or you will be buried under the iceberg.


    Qin Shiou shook hands with him, and then looked at Weini, Heidao and others. Heidao and his party shook their heads and lay in the trough. Glaciers can be seen everywhere in the bay. At this time, it''s life-threatening to go to sea! Than fighting terrorists in the Middle East!


    Winnie didn''t say anything, but she was moved.


    Seeing this, Qin Shiou hasn''t said well yet. The black saber and his party stand like soil. All right, get ready to die.


    Sure enough, Qin Shiou said to the shipowner, "OK, how do you charge? Let''s go to sea and look around. Just look at the iceberg."


    The receiver squeaked and said, "boss, can I watch the snow motorcycle here?"


    The little doorman said unhappily, "we don''t have thieves here! You know, the security of our city is the best in the world! The best! "


    The receiver liked to tease the child, so he said, "how do you judge? I also said that we had the best law and order in St. Johns. "


    The little doorman asked, "how many policemen do you have in St. Johns?"


    The air bag was stunned and said inexplicably, "how do I know this? Maybe 200? Three hundred? "


    The little doorman smiled happily and said, "we have only six policemen in Ilulissat! Doesn''t that explain the problem? "


    Qin Shiou was lazy to argue with the five cowards. He said, "this is voluntary. If you don''t want to get on the boat, just wait here."


    When he was angry, he smiled happily. The black knife stared at him and said angrily, "what about professional ethics? We''re bodyguards now, okay? "


    Qin Shiou secretly said that if there is an accident at sea, it is uncertain who will protect who.


    Going to sea is not just looking at icebergs. There is another project, ice sea floating.


    The boat they took was a wooden boat, only six meters long. It looked a little dangerous for so many people to get on the boat.


    The black knife turned pale. After they got on the boat, they sat down honestly and kept drawing a cross on their chest.


    Qin Shiou''s eyes brightened when he saw the ship and said, "I''ve seen this kind of ship. Should this ship have a long history?"


    The reason why he said this is because the place where he saw this kind of ship is the seabed, which is the location where he found the black axe pirate ship in the North Sea. At that time, four such boats were hung at the stern of the pirate ship.


    The pirate ship has sunk to the bottom of the sea for more than 300 years. It must have a long history.


    The shipowner looked at him in surprise and said, "have you seen chalupas? Oh, that''s the name of this kind of ship. It was used to be a whaling ship. Our ancestors rowed such a vulnerable wooden ship to the sea to catch whales. "
