Chapter 474: There are countless women at home, so it's better to go out for a walk
Every year, the annual event, the Midsummer Festival in June, the Summer Market, the Jazz Festival in July, the Ocean Festival, the Night of the Arts in Mariehamn in August, the Cultural Festival in October, the Åland Marathon, the Christmas Market in December.
The Netherlands is a small country, but it has many World Heritage Sites.
As of 2008, Finland has six World Heritage sites, one of which is the Kvarken Archipelago; Five sites are cultural heritage, namely the ancient church of Petyevesi, the Bronze Age cemetery of Samarahdenmejid, the ancient city of Rauma, the Huerla mill and cardboard factory, and Suomenlinna.
Among them, the Kvarken Islands, a natural heritage, are places that Ye Chao does not want to miss.
It's rare to have time to travel in life, and when you arrive, you won't have any regrets.
Besides, although Ye Chao's ability is great, he doesn't know when he will be destroyed, because now he is a person who can't even fully grasp his own mind.
The Kvarken archipelago is located in the middle of the west coast of Finland, across the sea from Sweden.
As a result of the gradual melting of glaciers up to 1,000 to 24,000 years ago during the ice age, the archipelago formed a ridged moraine like a washboard, and the crust that had been pressed and sunk by glaciers rose at an "alarming" rate of about 1 cm per year, causing some bays to form lakes and then develop into swamps, and the length of the archipelago's coastline and land area continued to increase.
If the current rate of rise continues, in 2,500 years, the Kvarken Strait between Finland and Sweden will be connected to each other. The unique landscape, good ecology, and the typical cases of "vicissitudes of the sea" brought about by the movement of the earth's crust have made the Kvarken Islands included in the list of World Natural Heritage Sites.
The Kvarken archipelago was the first project in Finland to be listed as a World Natural Heritage Site, located 150 kilometres off the high coast of Sweden.
This archipelago of moraine rocks and rising topography is a typical area for studying the phenomenon of crustal equilibrium. Also affected by glaciation, Sweden's high coast and Finland's Kvarken archipelago have different topographical characteristics.
The Kvarken Islands and the High Coast are situated in the Gulf of Bothnia and extend to the Baltic Sea in the north. The 5,600 islands of the Kvarken archipelago are covered with ridged moraines that resemble washboards, forming a large and remarkably intact continental ice sheet between 10,000 and 24,000 years ago.
The archipelago is in the process of continuous rise, and the landmass, which was originally pressed down by huge glaciers and sunk to the bottom of the sea, is rising at an alarming rate, and the rate of uplift is the highest in the world. The changing topography has resulted in the coastline not being extended, the islands increasing, and the bays gradually forming lakes and then developing into swamps.
The high coast has also been largely formed by the merger process of the Ice Age, when the glaciers retreat and new lands emerge from the sea. Since the last time the glacier degraded from the high coast 9,600 years ago, it has risen 285 meters, the highest "rebound" recorded.
This heritage site offers an excellent opportunity to understand the important processes of glacier formation and land uplift on the Earth's surface.
The High Coast is characterized by a steep coastline full of rocks, with hills up to 350 meters high; The Varken archipelago, on the other hand, consists of low-lying moraine islands with their highest point just 20 meters above sea level. These two areas represent the complex post-ice age topographical development in their entirety.
The Kvarken archipelago covers an area of 194,400 hectares, of which about 15% of the total area is land and the remaining 85% is marine, with 6,550 large and small islands and a total coastline of 2,840 km. The water depth is only about 25 meters, and it is covered with ridged moraines that resemble washboards.
One of the most notable is the Ostrobothnia Plain, a very intact area of De Greer moraines, estimated to have formed between 10,000 and 24,000 years ago, showing the gradual melting of glaciers on land after the Ice Age.
The landmass, which was previously sunk to the bottom of the ocean by huge glaciers, is rising at an alarming rate, adding 100 hectares of land area to the archipelago every year, with an average rate of 8-8.5 millimetres per year, the fastest in the world.
The ever-changing topography has resulted in the extension of the coastline, the increase of islands, the gradual formation of lakes and then the development of swamps in bays; If the speed continues, in 2,500 years, the Kvarken Strait between Finland and Sweden will be connected, and the Gulf of Bothnia could become the largest freshwater lake in Europe.
The unique topography and ecology of the Kvarken archipelago record an important stage in the development of the earth, and the new land that has been rising from the seabed has not undergone erosion and destruction, which helps scientists understand the history of the earth and the evolution of life since the ice age, and is very representative for geological research.
Sweden's high coast, which was added to the World Heritage List in 2000, is a rocky coast where the post-ice age land uplift is clearly visible. Kvarken, on the other hand, is a low, washboard-shaped moraine archipelago with its highest point just 20 metres above sea level.
The most obvious and spectacular place is the De Geer moraine, which was formed by the melting of continental ice in the Ostrobothnia plain between 10,000 and 24,000 years ago, showing the gradual disappearance of glaciers from continental ice.
The formation of the De Geer moraine is very unique and representative, with frequent new rises in the area, as well as other morphologies of the moraine and the cross-section of the glacial ridge.
It is said that it is better to see than to hear.
After visiting the Kvarken Islands, Ye Chao once again felt that this was true.
Sometimes, no matter how much you read a book, no matter how much you watch a video, you have to be there, you have to be there, you can really know, you can really feel the beauty of the wonders of the world.
The ancients said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and now, Ye Chao wants to say that it is better to go out for a walk if you stay at home and read countless women......
cough, this is what Ye Chao wants to say to the otaku who like to watch small movie goddesses in island countries.
Watching that kind of movie hurts the body too much, and it hurts the soul, it's better to go out for a walk, feel the sunshine, enjoy the air, and really take a look at the beauties around you, which is not more beautiful than the products in the small movies...... Oh, and the beauties are strong?
They are authentic, clean, and the most beautiful scenery of a city, a town, or even a country.
To sum up, it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, to travel 10,000 miles is not as good as to read countless women at home, and it is better to go for a walk in the park than to read countless women......
After leaving the beautiful natural heritage of the Kvarken Islands, the elusive Ye Chao went to Tampere, Finland.
The reason why he came here was because there was a museum in the city that interested him, and an adventure park.
Although the most famous museum in the world is the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C., the Spy Museum in Tampere, Finland, is the world's first spy museum.
The museum exhibits spy paraphernalia and has a spy shop that sells simple spy supplies.
Although they are all old antiques, Ye Chao still looks at them with relish.
