――――――――――

Aconcagua is the largest extinct volcano in the world, because it is a volcano, so in the geological formation period, the summit is smooth, although high, but the snow line is also high, about 4,200 meters before there is snow, below is the common polar alpine moss climate.

In the footage, the snow and grass in the distance don't seem so harmonious.

"It's summer in Argentina or the Southern Hemisphere, and it's the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere, but we're walking near the mountainside, and the temperature is quite high. ”

"The summit of Mount Aconcagua is relatively gentle, with a snow line of 4,500 meters on the southeast side and a thickness of about 90 meters, with modern glaciers on the development side, and no snow cover on the west side, and many hot springs at the foot of the mountain. ”

"The Cordillera is the longest folded mountain system in the world. It is one of the two major mountain belts in the world, the "Pacific Rim Mountain Belt". It stretches from Alaska in the north to Tierra del Fuego in Argentina along the western border of the North American and South American continents, with a length of 15,000 kilometers from north to south. This mountain system consists of the Coast Mountains, Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, Sierra Madre, and the Andes Mountains of South America. Its natural environment is complex and diverse, including almost all climate-biological zones on the earth, forming a variety of different vertical zone structures. ”

"Brother Gun, I'm not convinced by this bragging, can I see a polar bear here?"

"You're right, there were polar bears here, of course, this bear, not bears living in the Arctic, after all, this is the Southern Hemisphere. ”

"Damn, I thought it was incredible that there were penguins in the Arctic last time for me to popularize science, and now I have polar bears in the southern hemisphere?"

"Polar bears have lived on all continents except Oceania and Antarctica, including African islands. ”

"Ever again?"

"That's right, as humans expanded, a list of animals much larger than polar bears became extinct, and polar bears were inevitably wiped out all over the world. ”

Walking on the bleak road, the sailor swiped the screen: "Hey, there is a person in front!"

Fang Hong looked ahead.

A man in a blue mountaineering suit walks ahead.

"Oh!"

Fang Hong's howl echoed in the mountains.

The blue mountaineering suit buddy heard the voice, turned around, and waited for Fang Hong.

Fang Hong walked closer, and only then did he use Chinese in confusion: "Hello!"

"Hello, I know you. ”

"Sure enough, it's compatriots, hello, hello. ”

"You're a smokeblower, the explorer. ”

Fang Hong pointed to this buddy: "I actually met our Chinese explorer, everyone say hello." ”

"Good morning!" "It's evening in China, it's morning in South America."

The blue-clothed buddy waved his hand: "Hello everyone, explorer can't be called, my name is Ding Pei, explorer." ”

Fang Hong looked at Ding Pei carefully: "Your set of equipment, for mountaineering?"

Climbing the mountain alone, although there is no snow on the west side, it is very difficult.

Ding Pei smiled: "I like to go to various places to find unknown but very delicious snacks, and I also like to take risks, but ......" Ding Pei raised his left leg: "When I was a child, I had a high fever when I traveled, and I couldn't treat it in time, and I had some mild hemiplegia, otherwise I would have been like you, adventurous all over the world." ”

Fang Hong smiled: "You're already on an adventure, isn't this it?"

"Woo ......" Ding Pei let out a sigh of relief: "I have been preparing for six years for this mountaineering. ”

Six years, preparing for a mountaineering is longer than a world-class mountaineer preparing to climb Mount Everest.

"I am mild hemiplegia, and I tried hard to get a mountaineering permit, and I thought of various ways to get the certificate. ”

The mountain to the east of King Ding Pei and the two: "But the mountains in China are almost all snow-capped mountains, even if they have a mountaineering permit, few people are willing to take a person with inconvenient legs and feet up the mountain, and I can't afford to hire a few mountain guides to go up the mountain together." ”

"So you're here alone?"

Ding Pei: "Yes, there is no snow in the mountains here, and I don't need to climb to the top of the peak, I just want to reach the place where I can reach and see this wonderful world." ”

Fang Hong was silent for a while, and asked the question for the water friend: "Don't you think it's dangerous?"

"Dangerous? No, I'll go up with the team, this time it's a huge mountaineering team, there are eight people in total. Ding Pei smiled: "Last year, a ten-year-old child climbed to the top of this Aconcagua, even if I am inconvenient to move, I can't compare to a child, right?"

Indeed, last year an American took his son and hired a guide to reach the summit of Aconcagua.

Mountaineering is a unique type of adventurer.

The danger is silent, and the action is silent.

It is possible to turn around, the rope is tight, and the teammate behind you will fall forever on the snow.

Even, the corpses of many adventurers will never be recovered.

In Everest, the body of a dead climber has always been used to judge one's position.

That scene is like in "Snowpiercer", where you see three people fleeing the train frozen on the hillside.

The world is not a bigger snowpiercer train, forever reincarnated, there are some brave people who want to break through the barrier of fate and pursue the honor in their hearts.

Fang Hong put down his backpack: "You want to go to the camp?"

"No, I'm going to catch the car, the agreed place is in front, the time is noon, I won't be there soon. ”

"Let's eat before leaving. Fang Hong took out the stove: "Just cooking." ”

Ding Pei laughed: "Okay, I also want to try your craft, what is today's dish." ”

Fang Hong took out the egg flour: "Fish-flavored bergamot." ”

"A classic dish in the flavor of fish, it is famous for resembling bergamot when it is cooked. ”

"Ground meat with green onions, ginger, garlic, salt, and a little wine, and into a meat filling. ”

"When the pan is heated, the oil wipes the pan, there is no accumulated oil, and when frying eggs, you only need oil stains on the surface of the pan, and there is no need to accumulate oil. ”

"After spreading it out, wrap the meat filling with eggs, fold it into a palm-wide strip, and then cut the Buddha's hand, connect the four knives, cut it with the fifth knife, and cut each Buddha's hand into a finger spread. Heat the oil and fry until golden brown. ”

Fang Hong scooped up all the bergamot hands: "The next thing is to prepare the fish flavor, put a little oil in the pot, put in the green onion, ginger, garlic, pickled pepper, stir-fry until fragrant, add sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and finally thicken, and then adjust the fish flavor sauce, just pour it on it." ”

"This dish is similar to the eggplant box. ”

People come and go, and there are many people who have tasted Fang Hong's cooking in the wild, and every time they parted after dinner.

Ding Pei is about to start walking the uphill road of life, all the way up.

Fang Hong is about to start walking downhill in life, mainly because there is no source of ingredients on it.

This mountain is a mountaineering mecca in South America, and people pass through the high altitude places all year round, and the low altitude places are inaccessible.

Fang Hong walks through green spaces and coniferous forests.

From time to time, it passes through an area with a slightly elevated elevation.

"When Aconcagua was formed, the Triassic soil layers were broken or arched out of the ground, forming some fault zones, but they were not very large. ”

Fang Hong has a mending knife and axe in his hand, in the wild, it is better to be vigilant at all times, the giant wolf last time has already taught Fang Hong a lesson, and he was almost cornered.

There was a cliff in front of him, and Fang Hong smiled: "Climb up and continue south." ”

"Brother Gun, this cliff looks so weird. ”

Fang Hong took a closer look, it was indeed strange, this was a typical sedimentary rock, some of the rocks were in the shape of black lines, some were in the shape of red lines, and in addition to this large area of strange patterns, there were gray rock layers.

After taking a closer look, Fang Hong was excited: "This can be encountered, haha, everyone look carefully, this is a dinosaur fossil!"

"Keel?"

"Triassic period, primitive dinosaur fossils from 200 million years ago!"

This is indeed the origin of dinosaur fossils, and there is a dinosaur fossil exhibition hall dozens of kilometers nearby, but if you want to encounter bare fossils in the wild, it really depends on luck.

"Huh, what kind of dragon is this? Australopithecus is the second largest carnivorous dinosaur in the world (after Spinosaurus) and comes from this area.

Southern behemoths, with an average body length of 11 tons and 14.5 meters, but they don't live in the Triassic!

Such a long fossil, if you look closely at the dragon head, it must be a carnivorous dinosaur, could it be a new dragon species?
