Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 634 Polar Regions

Cold cut noodles.

Bi Fang walked out of the cabin, spit out a mouthful of cold mist, and shivered all over.

Suddenly from midsummer to severe winter, no matter how strong the physique is, people will feel the biting cold.

At this time, Bi Fang had already put on his jacket.

This is not Greenland, but Longyearbyen in Svalbard.

78 degrees 13 minutes north latitude, 15 degrees 33 minutes east longitude, the northernmost city in the world.

There are about 1,800 residents here, most of whom are Norwegians. It is the northernmost city with a large population in the world.

There is also a newspaper in the city-"Svalbard Post" is the northernmost post office in the world.

It is actually quite close to the northernmost tip of Greenland, where Bi Fang is going, with only the Greenland Sea in the middle.

It only takes a few hundred nautical miles to reach the Fram Strait by ship in less than two days.

In fact, Bi Fang could have taken a direct flight, but he still chose to go to Svalbard first, and then take a cruise to Greenland.

One is to see the beautiful Svalbard Islands.

The scope of the North Pole is very wide. It can refer to the vicinity of the Arctic Circle or the North Pole at 90° north latitude.

Coming here as a traveler, of course, you have to go to Svalbard, the hometown of polar bears. It is very cold here, but not too cold. A thick down jacket is enough.

Here you can see the aurora during the day, as well as free polar bears, Greenland whales, and houses located in the snowfields.

There are no high-rise buildings. As a tourist destination, it is not as crowded and peaceful as other places.

The reason is not to come back after surviving.

Bi Fang suspected that after a hundred days, with his own state, he would not have any interest in traveling at all, so he might as well leave a good memory for himself first.

The second is to give your body an adaptation period.

From a high temperature zone of more than 30 degrees to a low temperature zone of minus 34 degrees, the temperature difference of more than 60 degrees is a severe test for the body.

Bi Fang didn't want to fall ill as soon as he got off the plane, so he happened to pass through Svalbard for a buffer. One day's play and two days' cruise were enough.

He took out his phone and checked the temperature that day, it was minus three degrees.

Walking in the airport, you can even see young and beautiful girls showing their smooth ankles.

I hope they will not suffer from rheumatism and arthritis when they are thirty or forty years old. Bi Fang sent his best wishes.

In the coastal area, the humidity is high and the temperature is low, so the cold air can easily invade the body, and the damage is quite serious.

"Everyone should keep warm in winter." Bi Fang specially advised the audience in the live broadcast room.

As soon as he got off the plane, Bi Fang turned on the live broadcast, also wanting the audience to enjoy the natural scenery together.

Perhaps the North Pole was too attractive, and it didn't take long for hundreds of thousands of viewers to gather in the live broadcast room.

Speaking of traveling these days, the audience in the live broadcast room is really addicted, and they watch the live broadcast almost every day.

No, just two days after returning from Yangguo, the broadcast started again, and it was still a completely different scene from Yangguo Sunshine Beach.

It's like going from summer to winter all of a sudden.

Everyone's clothes have become bloated, especially for most of the audience who are still in the midsummer season, this feeling is very strange, as if entering a fairy tale world.

Walking out of the airport in Longyearbyen, the capital of Svalbard, Bi Fang saw a striking "Tourist Notice" at a glance.

It is densely packed with prohibitions written one after another.

It is not allowed to litter here, not to kill or disturb birds and animals, not to replant trees, not to pick flowers, and not to destroy cultural relics...

[Damn, this is too strict, right? 】

[How strict is this. . . What should civilized tourists do? 】

So in the audience's impression, as a tourist city, shouldn't there be welcome slogans?

As a result, I couldn't do this and I couldn't do that, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Bi Fang smiled, but instead of responding, he told a story.

"On June 17, 1596, a Dutch nautical expedition saw an island almost covered in ice and snow in the endless sea.

Steep mountain peaks tower above the white snow.

At that moment, the whole sailing team was almost crazy. This is definitely a new continent, a new continent that has never been discovered. And this is the first time Svalbard has faced the world. "

"That adventurer is the Dutch explorer Willem Barents."

"At that time, William discovered a large number of Greenland whales in the nearby waters. Since then, three hundred years of European countries' history of plundering whale resources in this unowned land began."

"Since then, more and more adventurers have arrived here. Especially with the discovery of rich local mineral resources, more fanatical adventurers have been attracted here."

The following story, the audience has a vague guess.

Bi Fang sighed and chatted while walking on the road.

"The universe is vast, and human beings have never stopped exploring.

Due to the special geographical location of the Arctic, Antarctic, and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, people have always wanted to step into that special land.

As the closest habitable area to the Arctic, the Swarna Islands undoubtedly provide living conditions for exploring the Arctic. "

"In the museum here, there is a copper engraving created in 1791, which truly reproduces the scene at that time."

Bi Fang followed the travel guide and saw this copper engraving.

Dozens of fishing boats floated on the sea, and whalers held harpoons to slash at the whales spraying huge water jets; on the shore, hunters held rifles and shot at polar bears and seals.

The gift of nature is extremely fragile under the greed of people.

All of this has caused a large number of local species to decline, and some species are even on the verge of extinction.

It was not until the signing of the "Svalbard Treaty" that it was confirmed that the sovereignty here belongs to Norway that a relatively complete ecological protection law was gradually established in the local area, and the environment was gradually protected.

It is easy to destroy, but extremely difficult to restore.

And this is not something that can restore Svalbard to its original state, it needs to rely on the joint efforts of everyone who comes here.

The almost stringent "Environmental Protection Regulations" is one of the efforts, and the consciousness of tourists, residents, and scientific researchers is a major driving force for environmental change.

Since then, the environment on the archipelago has gradually been effectively protected.

Only in this way, Bi Fang will see the ban as soon as he goes out, instead of welcome.

"But there is actually good news for our Chinese tourists."

Bi Fang rolled up the travel guide and explained, "On February 9, 1920, Huaxia was one of the countries that signed this treaty at that time. That is to say, Huaxia owns the right to develop this land."

"We can carry out any non-military activities on this land, and citizens can freely come and go from Svalbard."

"The only problem is that only Oslo and Troms in Norway have SAS and Norwegian flights, so you still need to apply for a Schengen visa."
