Chapter 379: Iceland – Greenland
Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei took Yang Shuo from the glacier lagoon and went southwest to the famous scenic spot in Iceland: the black sand beach.
The formation of black sand beaches is related to volcanism, an undersea volcanic eruption in ancient times, the rapid cooling of high-temperature magma by seawater, the formation of fine lava particles, coupled with the effect of sea water and wind for many years, finally became today's endless black sand beach.
In Iceland, there are many volcanoes, so there are many black sand beaches, but the most famous is the black sand beach in Vic, where the three of them are located.
Vic City, here Liu Danqing has to complain.
"Comrades, the small village in front of us is the city of Vik, a municipality in Iceland with a population of more than three hundred people. ”
"I'm not wrong, the population is really more than three hundred people, it's just a municipality. Don't be surprised that in this country with a population of more than 300,000, there are eight regions, 29 provinces, and several cities. ”
"So, if you meet an Icelandic mayor, don't think that the other party is very bullish, he may not have more people than a village secretary in Huaguo. ”
At this moment, the audience, who are accustomed to a big country, were stunned.
On average, a high-ranking official is in charge of 10,000 people, which is not as good as the township chief in Huaguo, and a mayor in charge of 300 people, which is more than the head of the kindergarten in Huaguo.
Today's weather is good, and it's not a good time to see the black sand beach.
The best time to see the black sand beach is when the clouds are overcast, especially before the storm at sea.
Strong winds, dark clouds, black sand, and black water reflected in the black sand.
It will give people a feeling of the end of the world, the kind that doesn't need special effects to make horror movies, which is very exciting.
After about ten or twenty minutes on the black sand beach, the group drove further west to the famous Icelandic tourist golden circle near Reykjavík.
The first place to go is Gullfoss, which is about a three-hour drive northeast of Reykjavík, about a three-hour drive from the town of Vik.
Gullfossfoss, whose real name is Gullfossfoss, is 2,500 meters wide and 70 meters high, making it the largest fault canyon waterfall in Iceland
They arrived at Gullfoss around 1 p.m., which is the best time to see the view.
In the noon sun, the water drops from a drop of more than 50 meters, and the steaming mist is covered with golden droplets, and a bright rainbow looms, as if the entire waterfall was made of gold.
Xiao Weiwei opened the live broadcast room as usual and sighed: "Look, this is the golden waterfall in Iceland, the sun dyes the whole waterfall golden yellow, it's so spectacular." ”
Liu Danqing looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and sighed: "Now that we can see the Golden Waterfall, we should be grateful to a woman who lived nearby before her death." ”
"When a businessman saw the abundant hydropower resources of Golden Waterfall, he wanted to build a hydroelectric power station here, and this proposal was also approved by the local government. ”
"When the project was about to start after several unsuccessful protest gatherings, a woman thought about a local custom in Iceland. ”
It is customary for Icelanders to never work in a place where an unknown world has occurred, so she jumped from the top of a waterfall in front of many people and stopped the hydroelectric power plant with her life. ”
"The most powerful nail in history defended this beautiful scenery with his life, so that future generations can see this incomparably magnificent scene. ”
This time, there was a lot of praise in the live broadcast room, all of which were given to the woman who defended the right of future generations to enjoy the beautiful scenery with her life.
After viewing the Golden Falls, the group drove again to the Geisel Gap Fountain, which is not far to the west of the Golden Falls.
If the Gullfoss waterfall is a shock, the geyser is shocking.
A bowl of boiling water can feel a little dangerous.
What if the diameter of the bowl was enlarged to twenty or thirty meters?
What if the boiling water in this twenty or thirty-meter-sized bowl still climaxes again every seven or eight minutes?
This is just one of the many fountains, and in this area, there are many large and small fountains or hot springs, spraying boiling water into the sky one after another, and setting off bursts of white mist, which permeate the cold air, like a fairyland on earth.
They stayed in Reykjavik for the evening and tasted Icelandic lobster pizza, smoked salmon and smoked trout, and pan-fried cod.
The next day, they boarded a plane to Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, and prepared for a hunting trip.
It is said that the pilots who can land at Nuuk Airport are masters, because the runway here is the shortest in the world among civilian airports.
Liu Danqing paid attention when the plane landed, and the airport runway was really short, as short as the village road in his hometown.
Hunting service companies have a lot of energy in Greenland, which is also related to geography and history.
Greenland is located in the northeastern part of North America, and the most suitable areas of the island are on the west coast, across the sea from Canada and the United States.
During the Second World War, Greenland was once managed by the United States, and after the war, it was returned to Denmark.
Since May 1979, Greenland has established an internal self-government, because rice is an important export object of Greenland's seafood, coupled with the reputation of the world's black police, so in Greenland, the influence of the United States is even greater than that of the suzerain, Denmark.
After getting off the plane, Tom and Zlatan were already waiting, with a large President No. 1 parked beside them.
In Greenland, only this kind of large-size SUV is more practical, but the car with a lower site and smaller tires will not be able to use it normally for more time.
In the car, Tom handed Liu Danqing an itinerary with the travel and hunting arrangements made by the hunting service company for Liu Danqing.
Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei took a brief look, and when they saw that there was nothing special, they nodded and agreed, as for Comrade Yang Shuo, his opinion can be there, but it is not important.
Lao Yang is also very conscious, as if I was just following the mix, and let it be arranged.
Lunch at Hans Egede's Sarfalik restaurant with reindeer meat, musk deer and arctic prawns.
The audience in the live broadcast room shouted poisoning while watching several people enjoy the exquisite and delicious base food.
"Master Qing, Weiwei, this trip is not a land of ice and fire, but a journey of poisoning!"
"Qing Ye Weiwei, you have changed your career, right, and started a food show. ”
"I really can't stand it anymore, so I'm looking for polar flavor instant noodles. ”
"Together!"
……
After a hearty lunch, the hunting service arranged for a helicopter, accompanied by Zlatan, to fly directly to Ilulissat in the bay of disco with three men, where they will stay for the night.
To say that the European branch of the hunting service company has made arrangements for Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei, it can be regarded as painstaking and full of sincerity.
Ilulissat means "iceberg" in Greenlandic, and it is the most popular tourist destination in Greenland due to the gorgeous Ilulissat Glacier Fjord nearby.
And it's not the Ice Fjord that's best known for it, it's the Inuit flair.
Zlatan first took them to where they were staying tonight, the Polar Hotel in Ilulissat.
The so-called polar hotel is actually small in scale and does not have a high-rise building, but it is very famous here, and if you want to check in, you must make a reservation in advance.
Because the houses here are IGLOO, that is, Inuit igloos, there are five in total.
However, the five huts here are made of metal instead of traditional ice.
Because the hunting service company did not expect to add an uninvited guest, it just booked an IGLOO, and our Comrade Yang Shuo could only stay in the guest room of the hotel building aggrievedly.
After taking the three of them to the hotel, and having made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning at nine o'clock in the hotel building, Zlatan took his leave.
After making an appointment with Yang Shuo an hour later, they met in the living room of the hotel building and went to dinner together, and Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei walked out of the small building and walked towards their IGLOO.
To get from Xiaolou to IGLOO, you need to pass through a wooden seaside trestle, because it has just snowed two days ago, so the bridge is still covered with a layer of white snowflakes.
came to the trestle bridge by the sea, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei opened the live broadcast room.
"Hello audience friends, now we are in Greenland, this is a magical place, the area is 22% of Huaguo, but the population is Huaguo, uh, it's not easy to calculate, there are only more than 50,000 people here, which is equivalent to a township in Huaguo. ”
"It's the only place that isn't afraid of global warming, because once it warms, their usable land area increases dramatically. ”
"The place where we are currently is the third largest human settlement in Greenland, how, the third largest, be afraid, the population has reached more than four thousand, hehe, called Ilulissat. ”
Liu Danqing introduced it and made a joke with the audience.
Xiao Weiwei was more pragmatic, pointing to a small circular building in front of her and introduced: "That's where we will live at night, the characteristic Inuit house, IGLOO, I'll take you in to have a look." ”
When I opened the door and entered, the space inside was much larger than the dome that was exposed outside, because when I entered the hut, there was a staircase down, and more space was underground.
The walls inside the hut are wooden, so you can see a large fire extinguisher when you enter the door, and further inside, there is a large bed, and a small bathroom where you can take a shower.
Xiao Weiwei walked to the window and pointed the camera of her mobile phone at the glass window on the roof, through the glass window, she could see the glacier outside, and the sunset was already beautiful.
Liu Danqing lay on the bed, also looking at the beautiful scenery outside through a large number of glass windows.
"It's no wonder so many people want to stay in these cottages, this panoramic skylight is amazing, especially if there are aurora lights at night. ”
The two turned off the live broadcast room, rested for a while, and then returned to the hotel building and went to the Inuit specialty restaurant introduced by Zlatan to dine with Yang Shuo.
