Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 643 Arriving at the North Pole

On the deck, a group of people stood, all wearing thick coats, wrapped like penguins.

If it is normal, it is still dark and everyone is still sleeping, but now there are many people here.

Apparently, everyone was there to wake up and see the Northern Lights.

The huge cruise ship slid across the ocean full of ice floes, smashing pieces of thin ice, leaving a clear water mark.

The Arctic Ocean is an ocean covered by sea ice. The perennial unmelted sea water accounts for about two-thirds of the ocean area, and there are also a large number of floating ice and icebergs on the rest of the sea.

About half of the sea water here will freeze all year round, and the rest will melt in spring and freeze in winter.

The sea ice in the central area has even existed for 3 million years and is a permanent sea ice.

The climate type is even more single, and the simple summary is one word, cold.

"Huh, it's so cold."

"It's too cold, what's the temperature now?"

"Minus thirty."

"Only thirty? Why do I feel colder than yesterday?"

The person who asked about the temperature was puzzled. It was already thirty a few days ago, and it was even colder today. Why is it still thirty?

"That guy is an ugly country guy. He said Fahrenheit, and the Celsius is already close to minus thirty-five degrees. Damn it, my nose is going to freeze off. Steven will laugh at me when I go back."

"Damn it, my thermometer isn't working!"

"ha?"

On the deck, a man tapped his thermometer against the railing, making a sound like metal clashing.

The temperature on the thermometer didn't move at all, which made the man a little annoyed.

"The freezing point of kerosene is minus 30 degrees Celsius, it is frozen, of course it is impossible to move."

The voice came from the direction of the cabin, and everyone looked up, just in time to see Bi Fang closing the door and walking to the deck.

"Yo, it's Mr. Bi."

"Does Mr. Bi also get up to watch the aurora?"

"Is there any story to tell us today?"

"I watched the video last night. It's really amazing. I regret that I didn't meet earlier."

Everyone greeted him one after another, and within a week of getting along, everyone on the ship knew this young man, from the captain to the chef to the tourists.

Bi Fang smiled and nodded, and came to the man who yelled that the thermometer was broken, and leaned on the railing: "Generally speaking, there are three types of materials for thermometers, kerosene, mercury, and alcohol."

"The freezing point of kerosene is only minus 30°C. Below this temperature, it will solidify and cannot move naturally, or the cold shrinkage effect is so slight that it can hardly be seen by the naked eye. The freezing point of mercury is minus 38.87°C, so it cannot be used. "

"When you come to the North Pole, you can only bring an alcohol thermometer, because only its freezing point is minus 117°C, which is suitable for all low-temperature natural environments on the earth. Fortunately, you are not using mercury, otherwise it will be very dangerous in case of an explosion, but Thermometers generally have very little mercury."

There are many differences between thermometers, the most common ones are thermometers and thermometers.

The thermometer is usually mercury, and the thermometer is kerosene and alcohol, and the things measured by the two can only be understood literally.

"Why?"

Someone shouted from behind.

Bi Fang raised his head: "Because mercury expands slowly when heated, it will not cool down quickly after it is taken out of the body. It needs to be shaken to return to zero. Using it to measure temperature is relatively simple and intuitive, and it can also avoid external temperature transmission. resulting in error."

"The kerosene and alcohol thermometers expand significantly when heated, and change very quickly. They will rise and fall rapidly when they are cold and hot, so they are generally not used to measure body temperature. They are made of red and hung indoors to roughly monitor the weather and temperature. "

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Did you wake up so early today?" Bi Fang looked at the time, and it was not yet breakfast.

Although the real polar night has not yet arrived, the unusually short day still reminds people to pay attention to the time.

Maybe the vast majority of people don't have the experience and experience of polar night, but it is conceivable that polar night is not easy to spend, and there are many problems, such as the disorder of human biological clock.

A large part of the human biological clock is dependent on natural light.

Therefore, a very important way to regulate the rhythm is to eat. The meal time on the ship is fixed, and only three meals are free.

I want to add a meal, sorry, I have to pay for it.

"They're all here to see the aurora."

"It's so beautiful."

"Yeah, it's dawn soon, can you still see it?"

"There are also during the day here, of course."

"Mr. Bi also got up early."

"En." Bi Fang nodded, pointing to the ice floes not far away, "I will get off the boat when I find a good place at dawn."

To disembark!

Everyone was a little surprised, but not too surprised. Everyone knew that the purpose of Bi Fang's trip this time was to reach the northernmost tip of Greenland.

I just didn't expect it to come so soon.

Half an hour later, the green belt remained in the sky, and the second ray of natural light slowly appeared from the horizon. The dark black curtain was kicked up, and the fish belly was white.

A century ago, on the other side of the earth, on the Antarctic continent, a group of the bravest people in the world embarked on a life-or-death adventure.

On the left is the flame, on the right is the sea, and in front is the dream and glory that the heart is struggling to pursue.

A century later, a young man came to another node on the earth, without any supplies, and challenged to survive here for a hundred days.

The cold wind howled.

This huge cruise ship over 70 meters smashed into an ice floe again, and the sun hung obliquely on the position of the figurehead.

The prow of the ship smashed away the most glaring giant sun, leaving scattered white light spreading in all directions.

The tourists who were shivering with cold squinted their eyes and raised their heads. There was a vast expanse of whiteness in front of them. It was not a piece of white ice floes, but a continent, a vast and stretching pure white continent.

No trees, no grass, no living things.

There was only endless cold wind, like steel knives slashing his face. There was no blood, and all the blood was frozen into blood-colored icicles the moment it was about to splash out.

Many spectators couldn't help touching their own faces. The skin on their faces was almost frozen unconscious. It wasn't until their warm fingers touched the skin that turned into ice cubes that they realized that their faces were not cut by ice skates. , Everything just now was just my own illusion.

A familiar voice mixed with the sound of the wind rang in their ears. Everyone looked around, and at some point, the drone that seemed to be indestructible had already hung above their heads.

"Looking back at the evolution of human beings, if our ancestors did not have adventure and imagination, and the broad mind and magnificent feelings of being brave enough to innovate and sacrifice, human beings would not use canoes to surf the sea and explore the infinite mysteries across the ocean."

"Human beings are curious and have the impulse to take risks. Human beings take risks and ignite the torch of civilization."

"Adventures are not only in the oceans and mountains of nature, between deserts and swamps, but also in densely populated cities."

"I am Bi Fang, a professional outdoor explorer. This time, we have come to the North Pole."

The Whanganui River that flows through New Zealand is considered a living creature, and even has certain rights. Maori tribes consider this to be their ancestors, so harming the reservoir is tantamount to violating the rights of the tribal people. There are now two guardians of the river: a Maori and a New Zealander.
