Fang Hong kicked the ground hard and dragged Hua Bai up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Professor Wang and Qiu Qing also came around: "It's okay, what's the situation?"

Hua Bai felt palpitations after being pulled up: "It's so dangerous, almost, almost sacrificed for the country." ”

Sailor was also stunned by the sudden danger: "What's the situation, I'll rely on it." ”

"I'll go, almost hang one. ”

Hua Bai pointed to the place where the ice wall collapsed: "I walked along the ice wall, and I felt that the ice wall was a little wet, indicating that the temperature on this side was higher than this area, so I walked forward against the wall, but accidentally broke the ice wall, and then slipped down, fortunately, my hand quickly climbed the ground, and Fang Hong came over, so I didn't fall." ”

"The ice wall is shattered?" Professor Wang looked up, "This ice wall is very thin?"

It stands to reason that this ice cave is a hollow that has been smoked by water vapor or lava flows, and there should be ice walls more than a kilometer wide on both sides, how can it be shattered?

Unless the ice wall is less than five centimeters thick, it is impossible to shatter.

Fang Hong took the flashlight, sat down cross-legged at the crack, picked up the flashlight and irradiated it.

Within 300 meters, the beam of super-concentrated light was directly illuminated at the breach.

In an instant, Fang Hong's gaze was far away.

There was actually a huge cavity, and the beam of light on the opposite side shone on the blue ice wall, and the distance between the opposite ice wall and the rift was at least more than 500 meters, because the beam on the opposite ice wall was very scattered.

It's like, you're sitting in the toilet on a soccer field, and suddenly the door in front of the toilet opens, and you see the spectator seats directly across the soccer field.

The entire oppressive small space became an extension of a huge space in an instant.

However, you clearly know that even a football stadium is a closed environment, but the range you can reach is suddenly expanded countless times.

"Holy, what is this?"

"It's definitely a continuation of the ice cave. ”

When the water friends were making a fuss, Professor Wang and several people also came around.

Qiu Qing put his hand on Fang Hong's shoulder and squatted down: "It's an ice cave, it should be a natural ice cave." ”

Hua Bai squatted on the other side: "Five hundred...... Seventeen meters. ”

Professor Wang and the geologist walked over.

The geologist spoke: "Qiu Qing, give up a position, you see there's a fart, let me come." ”

"666, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the professionals are coming. ”

Qiu Qing reluctantly gave up his position: "Old Ma, do you see something?"

", I haven't even seen it. "This geologist is called Ma Fengfeng, and he is an old horse and a peak, so it's a pity not to be a geologist.

"Sure enough, it was naturally formed, and it should have been formed by stress collapse. ”

In layman's terms, it's similar to a landslide.

Ma Fengfeng was about to go to the entrance of the cave to investigate, but was stopped by Professor Wang: "The geology is so soft, what are you going to do?"

"Let's see what's going on up and down the cave. Ma Fengfeng responded.

"You'll fall and die in a moment, come on, professionals. ”

After listening to Professor Wang's words, a group of sailors laughed: "666, my gun brother has also become a professional." ”

"It feels so rewarding to be called a professional in front of this person. ”

Fang Hong untied the last bundle of rope that he was the only one he carried, found an ice pick, tied it to his body, and then threw the rope on the ground: "Hua Bai, come and step on it." ”

Hua Bai didn't want to miss the wonderful picture: "Why am I stepping on it." ”

"Because you're heavy. Sailors gave the answer.

Fang Hong smiled: "Because you are stocky." ”

Hua Bai was powerless to complain and stood on the rope.

The icicle was slippery, so he was afraid that it would slip out after a while, so he was told to step on it. Fang Hong walked to the entrance of the cave, lifted the flashlight, knelt down on one knee and looked at the bottom of the cave, and then looked at the top of the cave.

The live broadcast screen was also given.

The bottom of the cave is actually a smooth ice surface, and the top of the cave is like an arched dome, a serious ice dome.

But it's not a celestial dome, it's a dome.

Fang Hong tied the rope buckle to Ma Fengfeng's body: "Come and see, I don't feel that it was formed by collapse, and it doesn't look like it was smoked out of heat." ”

"Huh?" Ma Fengfeng took the flashlight suspiciously, poked into the hole, and observed up and down, left and right.

"Who records it. ”

Professor Wang took out a small notebook and shone his headlamp: "Ready." ”

"The top of the cave to the bottom of the cave is 310 meters high, the width of the cave is up to 353 meters, and the length is up to 597 meters, and there are obvious signs of liquid water on the top of the cave. ”

"The bottom of the cave is a smooth plane, and there are traces of rock fragments below...... One hundred and ten meters below our feet, volcanic steam escaped, and there was a crack that appeared to be an ice cave at 15 degrees south-east. ”

"There are rock masses all the way down to the ice on this side, and bare ice walls on the opposite side. ”

After looking at it for a while, Ma Fengfeng laughed: "It turns out that this ice cave was formed like this." ”

Professor Wang raised his head: "New discovery?"

"I should have thought that the first time I saw the smooth ice surface, it must have been caused by the freezing of liquid water, and in that case, it must have been the melting of the ice and snow from the ice cave where we were and then solidified again. No wonder scientists from various countries didn't find anything after entering, it must be that the ice water on the road ahead was frozen again and blocked the path of water flowing to this cave, so they didn't find this cave, haha. ”

As a geologist, Ma Fengfeng easily figured out the truth of the matter.

First of all, it used to be a slope, while it was covered with ice sheets.

During a mountain movement, the slope collapsed into a vertical rock wall that filled the bottom of the cave.

It was during this volcanic activity, or volcanic activity in the years that followed, that the ice cave was melted by steam or magma, which then rolled downwards into the cavern, where it condensed to form the ice surface.

The steam from below the mountain has been scorching the dome higher and higher, and the ice wall on this side has thinned down.

At the same time, the steam in this ice cave also thinned the inside of the ice wall, and eventually, this ice wall became thinner and thinner, and Hua Bai happened to knock it down.

In other words, during a volcanic activity, a U-shaped cave was formed, and then the U-shaped cave slowly turned into an H-shape for endless years.

Ma Fengfeng was excited: "Standing here, I can imagine the picture of this huge cave formed by the collapse of huge ice and boulders. However, the specific year still needs to be tested by instruments to be compared. ”

From the birth of the Erebus volcano to the present, it is actually a continuous evolutionary process, and the basalt and other rocks formed by the eruption of magma are getting higher and higher, and the upper limit of its age can be barely judged from the texture, and a lower limit can be reluctantly judged from the ice data.

The combination of the two can determine the approximate age of this geological change.

Professor Wang: "It's really worth the trip, it's a new discovery. ”

Professor Wang is very excited about this discovery, foreign scientists have been conducting scientific expeditions to Antarctica for hundreds of years, and it has been difficult for China to catch up in the past few decades. Every new discovery represents the possibility of academic breakthroughs, and it also represents another scientific research in China that is ahead of the world.

However, there are two research stations nearby, one in the United States and one in New Zealand, and they should also intervene.

Professor Wang looked nearby: "Let's retreat to the periphery first, wait for the delivery of equipment and instruments to come, and come back tomorrow to conduct field surveys." ”

Next to him, Ma Fengfeng was also communicating with Huabai.

New Zealand's current research station is unexpectedly empty.

In other words, Lao Mei was lucky to catch up. But they have been stationed in meteorologists for a long time, not geologists.

The other countries had to come by boat, and when they came, the flowers were gone.

If the plane hadn't stopped at the South Pole now, they wouldn't have been able to catch up with tomorrow's survey.

It is likely to be an opportunity to monopolize the results of the scientific expedition.
