Happy Tycoon

Leaving St. John's, the Blue Whale plunged into the blue Labrador Sea and continued to head north. ..

When it comes to this sea area, the temperature during the day is fairly suitable, and the highest temperature in the afternoon can climb to about 30 degrees, but once the sun begins to **** to the west, the temperature will soon drop. At night, the temperature in the Labrador waters can reach about ten degrees. Even on the ocean, the temperature difference is huge.

The Labrador Cold Current, which originated in Baffin Bay further north, must flow through this sea area before entering the Atlantic Ocean to the south. The existence of the cold current makes the temperature here much lower than the sea area to the south.

The main reason for the formation of the Newfoundland fishing grounds that the Blue Whale had just passed by was the confluence of the Labrador cold current and the Mexican warm current.

Originally, according to Captain Andre’s sailing plan, after the Blue Whale departed from Boston, it would make a fresh water supply in Nuuk, the largest port city in southwestern Greenland, and then directly enter the Arctic Ocean. Although there was a delay of half a day in St. John's last night, it was nothing for this kind of long-distance voyage.

When the Blue Whale went to Antarctica for scientific research before, it often waited for a long time in the port of Argentina due to sudden changes in the weather in the Antarctic waters. Although I stayed in St. John's for a long time this time, it was because the employer invited you to have a seafood dinner. It was a good thing that the crew would rather come a few times.

From St. John’s to Nuuk, the distance is about 0 nautical miles. At the speed of the Blue Whale, it takes about eighty hours.

After floating at sea for three and a half days, the Blue Whale finally approached Nuuk in southwestern Greenland.

Even if it has entered the mid-summer season, the temperature in Nuuk is still quite low. The highest temperature here during the day is only 20 degrees Celsius, and the temperature at night will directly drop to about zero degrees.

Nuuk is the largest city and the largest port in Greenland. Of course, this city is also the capital of Greenland. However, even though this city is the largest city in Greenland, the permanent population of this city is only around 70,000 people, which is almost the same as an ordinary town in China...

Although Nuuk is already close to the Arctic Circle, the port of Nuuk, which lies deep at the exit of the Gotthob Strait, has very few days of freezing throughout the year. So it has become the largest city in Greenland.

There are no agricultural crops around Nuuk, and it is not suitable for agricultural development, but fishery is the pillar industry here. The vast majority of the people coming and going in the port are fishing boats.

The Blue Whale is very big. It is a giant ship in Nuuk Port, and Nuuk Port has only one 10,000-ton berth. It is still at the outer wharf, so the Blue Whale can only be docked at that wharf. superior.

The Blue Whale will dock in Nuuk Harbor for two days. In addition to fresh water supply, it is more important for the crew to relax completely before entering the Arctic Ocean.

The Blue Whale is a scientific research ship. Unlike ocean freighters, they will not dock until they reach their destination. In order to take care of the scientific research personnel on board, scientific research ships often create conditions for landing as much as possible. There is really no way to go ashore if there are no conditions, but as long as they can go ashore, they will basically be docked.

Nuuk Port is still far away from the Arctic Ocean. Unfortunately, there is no port where the Blue Whale can dock further north. This is the last port where the Blue Whale can dock before the Blue Whale enters the Arctic Ocean.

After staying on the boat for almost four days, Yang Jing and Gege felt that the earth was shaking when they got off the boat.

This is a natural reaction, staying on the boat for a long time, and just getting off the boat are all this kind of beating. It's like staying in high altitude areas (more than four thousand altitudes) for a long time. Once you go down to low altitude areas (less than one hundred altitude), then it is easy to get drunk oxygen...

After getting used to it for a while, the feeling of shaking everywhere slowly disappeared.

Grid sighed, and directly said Yang Jing's heartfelt voice-it's better to be Mother Earth!

When Yang Jing and the others arrived at Nuuk Harbor, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, but the sky here was still bright, and the sun had not yet set. The sun will not go down until about 10:30 in the evening, and then the sky will light up again at about 3:30 in the morning, and the sun will rise at about 3:30.

After getting off the boat and coming to the booked hotel, Yang Jing and the others rested after having a meal with local characteristics.

As a result, after falling asleep, Yang Jing felt that it was already bright outside. He dazedly slapped Grid awake, "Honey, it's dawn outside, don't sleep..."

Grid also rubbed his eyes in a daze and looked at the window. The curtains are not enough to completely block the sun, so it's really dawn outside?

Grid touched the phone to check the time, and angrily beat Yang Jing twice, "You idiot, this is close to the Arctic Circle, and the sun will come out after three o'clock in the morning!"

The bewildered Yang Jing realized that he had engaged in a big oolong. Grabbing the watch on the bedside table and looking at it, it was only 3:30 in the morning!

I didn't say anything, continue to lie down and sleep!

He slept until after 7 o'clock in the morning before waking up. When the two of them walked out of the room to prepare for a meal, they saw Lin Dan sitting in the dining room with a tired face and two dark circles under his eyes.

Yang Jing stepped forward and stabbed this guy, "What's the matter? Can't help but make a big sword last night?"

Lin Dan rolled his eyes helplessly, "I couldn't fall asleep after three o'clock in the morning. Damn it!"

When Yang Jing heard this, he burst into laughter with joy. Lin Dan sleeps very lightly, especially sensitive to light, and he can't sleep even if it's lighter. It’s okay on the ship. The curtains on the cabin windows are very tight, basically opaque, and there are blindfolds that can be used, so you can ignore the early sun. But it doesn't work in a hotel. The curtains in this hotel are very ordinary. When the sun comes out, the room can be slightly brightened. As a result, Lin Dan was forced.

Clark McCann said with a smile: "I reminded him when I disembarked last night and told him to bring his blindfold down. Who knows he forgot..."

Grid was also happy when he knew it. Everyone in the house was happy, but Lin Dan was left with a sad face.

After breakfast, everyone went out to visit this beautiful town. After all, you have to stay here for two days and you can relax to your heart's content.

Nuuk is still very beautiful in summer. The eight months of snow covering here has disappeared at this time, but snow can still be seen on the mountains not far away. Some coniferous trees become lush and lush at this time, and flowers are also blooming in this rare warm season.

Stand at the door of the hotel and wait for the arrival of the local guide that the hotel is looking for. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, it’s really hard to believe that this small city surrounded by greenery is actually a city on the edge of the Arctic Circle.

Because Danish or Greenlandic is spoken here, and few of them speak English, Yang Jing and Gege and the others must find a guide who understands English. After waiting at the entrance of the hotel for more than ten minutes, an Inuit drove a Ford pickup and stopped in front of the crowd.

Inuits are what we call Eskimos, but in North America, you'd better not say Eskimos, otherwise people will turn their faces. You are called an Eskimo, just like the Chinese and Shanghai people call a foreigner "little chick". It's strange if they don't turn their faces with you.

Although this guy is an authentic Inuit, he has a very Western name, "Hey, everyone, I’m Jack Atmok, you can call me Jack, I’m serving you today. Tourist guide."

This Jack is not the Jack played by the little plum in "Titanic". This guy is more than 1.9 meters, with a beard and very sturdy face, which is a match for Clark McCann.

After exchanging each other for a while, under the leadership of this Jack, Yang Jing and Grid began to visit the city on foot.

Nuuk is too small. Although this city administers an area of ​​more than 100,000 square kilometers, the urban area is too small. Even from the southwestern end of the city to the northeast end of the airport, the straight-line distance is only five kilometers, and the width is about two kilometers. On foot, you can tour the city in less than half a day.

In fact, as the capital of Greenland, Nuuk still receives many tourists from all over the world every year, which also gives birth to many local tour guides. However, the best season to come to Nuuk is in winter. Only in that season can you truly experience the polar customs.

Jack is obviously a very qualified tour guide. Along the way, he introduced many famous local buildings and scenery to Yang Jing and Ge Ge, although this city does not have any beautiful scenery...

"Have you seen that mountain?" Jack pointed to the high mountain in the northeast. The top of that mountain still wears a "white hat"-without melting snow. The famous Sadele Mountain. It is located on the island of Selmizyak, which is a small island in the Nupu Kanglua fjord to the north. Sadele Mountain is 20 meters above sea level and is near Gotthob The highest mountain. This mountain often appears as a background in our panorama of Gotthob~www.readwn.com~ It can be seen in most places in the city, and it is regarded as the most famous of our Gotthob It’s a natural landscape."

As Jack said, he took out a travel brochure like a trick. On the cover of this brochure, it turned out to be the mountain.

As for the Gothab that Jack said, it is another name for Nuuk. Nuuk is the English name of the capital of Greenland by Westerners, but among the locals, they are more accustomed to calling the city Gotthob. Because in Greenlandic, Gothab represents good hope.

"Can you visit that mountain?" Grid asked, her English is also quite fluent.

Jack smiled and nodded, "Of course you can, but don’t look at this mountain as if it’s close at hand, but in fact it is 20 kilometers away from us in a straight line, and you need to take a boat. If you are sure you want to go there If you appreciate Sadler up close, I can arrange a boat for you."

When I heard that I was going to take a boat again, Grid hesitated a bit, but finally shook his head, "Forget it, since I have to go by boat, then I don’t want to go. I’ve just taken a boat these days, and I’m almost tired of sitting. ."

Jack smiled, not arrogant.
