Because the time here was too limited, Nalan Shiqi didn't have time to write postcards and mail them, so the postcards that were later sent to her friends from Ushuaia were delivered here by the staff on the commissioned cruise ship. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, Nalan Shiqi actually wanted to go to the post office in Antarctica to invent a postcard for a friend, but unfortunately he couldn't go there because of the frozen weather.

The boat in the picture is the boat opposite Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, which is a little bigger than Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo and looks a little more luxurious, many people say why Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo don't sit on this boat. It's not that I really look down on it, not to mention that this ship can't go to Antarctica, and even if it does, it won't be able to come back. It's really not just a ship that can go to Antarctica, you have to be very well equipped and have professional equipment.

In fact, Antarctic tourism is becoming more and more popular, and the size of the boat is also very different, if it is a small expedition ship, about 50 people, the advantage is that you can go deep into some fjords to see more beautiful scenery that ordinary people can't see, but the small boat has to bear many times the risk when passing through the Drakexi wind belt, and the seasickness is definitely very serious; It is said that there are even large ships with a maximum capacity of 80,000 tons to go to the South Pole, which can accommodate thousands of people, although such ships will be more comfortable when crossing Drake, but there is basically no beautiful place, because there is no way to dock or enter some fjords, and it is not easy to land thousands of people at the same time, whether by ferry or helicopter.

The Beimian on which Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo rode was 10,944 tons, had 132 rooms, and was launched in 2010. It's big enough to go to many bays that big ships can't reach. Its designer is Jean Philippe from France, and the overall design of the boat feels very good, and some ideas can be seen in the distribution of rooms, lighting, theater, café, gym, restaurant, etc.

The crew on board comes from all over the world. Over the next few days, many people will be able to get familiar with it.

When they first boarded the ship, they all dressed in formal clothes to receive everyone, and they had to leave their passports at the door for boarding, and some handsome guys provided hot towels to wipe their hands. And personally lead to your room, and the luggage will be delivered later. It felt good to enter the room, the bed was large and moderately soft and hard. It's not big, but it's all right

The stairs are not small. There is a set of rattan chairs and coffee tables. The wardrobe is large, there are places to hang clothes and fold clothes, two bathrobes and slippers

And the bathroom is separated, and the place for bathing and washing is not small. 24-hour hot water supply. Hairdryers, safes, mineral water, etc. are also available

There is a 24-hour room service on board, so you can always have a hot meal just a phone call away. There wasn't much time to rest after boarding, and there was a stereo in each room to listen to the radio. The announcement on the radio was that everyone would go to the theater on the fourth floor to gather, because to do an escape drill that had to be attended by all the participants, first of all, the captain and the expedition leader met with Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.

The captain Garcia, a Frenchman, married an Asian girl from Singapore. So he likes Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo Asian faces very much. He obtained his captain's license at the French Merchant Marine Academy and joined the cruise ship in the 90's with the Club Med. He then joined the 1,000-passenger cruise ship Mistral and became its captain at the age of 37. He has a lot of experience in the polar regions, including the North and South Poles, and he loves this job very much, and is proud to tell Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo about his experience. On the left is the captain, and on the right is the expedition leader Russevans. Nalan Shiqi didn't get a clear picture of him, he had a blonde beard and hair

It's an authentic Falklandian. He began to work as an assault boat pilot and naturalist in 03 years for Antarctic research ships, and as an explorer, Russ also worked on cruise ships in the Arctic and the British Isles, and has very rich experience in polar exploration.

With the end of a series of exercises, everything settled down.

The boat started at about 10 o'clock in the evening, and just now Nalan Shiqi forgot what Nalan Shiqi was doing, and just went out to the terrace to take a look

Because the ship has just arrived, there will be a large number of seabirds following Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, and the view on the sixth floor is absolutely spectacular, and anyone who loves photography can take pictures of seabirds there. They followed Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo and could pick up the small fish and shrimp that were stunned by Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's boats, eh

There are two restaurants on the ship, the French restaurant on the second floor and the cafeteria on the sixth floor, the first time I went to the sixth floor to eat, the cafeteria is generally OK, that is, people think that there are many varieties of trouble here, so that more and more people have come later, except for the first two meals on the sixth floor, the others are eaten on the second floor, in fact, the taste there is the best.

When I was full and tired, I went back to my room and began to fall asleep.

When I was sleeping, I heard the announcement that I was going to the fourth floor to get the jacket, so Nalan Shiqi went to get two pieces back, big red, and quite good-looking, but it was too big. Break your sleep. Now we can only hope for seasickness. Because many people say that they will get seasick.

But in fact, to speak from the heart, when Nalan Shiqi told Nalan Shiqi that he would be seasick and uncomfortable from the beginning, Nalan Shiqi said, Nalan Shiqi would definitely not be seasick, so he didn't take it seriously at all.

I slept well on the first night, like in the cradle, the wind and waves didn't start to be big, and I just set off, so I slept well.

The Drake Strait is about 1,000 kilometers, and at the speed of the ships of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, it takes about 48 hours, two days and two nights.

This day's itinerary, Nalan Shiqi wants to see more text descriptions of friends, because of what? Amount(⊙o⊙)... Because Nalan Shiqi was seasick, he had been lying in bed for two days, and he didn't dare to get up most of the time. However, Nalan Shiqi was also pulled to Class A by a BT friend who did not seasick, and felt a 20-meter monstrous wave.

In the past two days, how to say it, it's just one word: dizzy! Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's entire team is probably at most one-tenth of them who are not so dizzy. Of course, there are really people who don't get dizzy at all, and later Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo jokingly came to Antarctica like this, and their memories are definitely not profound!

Because the wind and waves were not big when the boat first started, I slept fairly well on the first night, although I slept late, but I woke up in the morning and felt that everything was OK, in fact, the wind and waves had begun to be relatively strong at this time. Of course, the fact that the Drake Passage is known as one of the Devil's Westerly Belt is definitely not hearsay or exaggeration.

The Devil's Westerly Wind Belt is not just the Drake Passage, but between 40 and 60 degrees south latitude, the sea area is located between the subtropical high pressure zone and the subpolar low pressure zone.

However, the Drake Passage is known for its rough waves--- and because the Pacific and Atlantic oceans meet here, and because of its high latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere, storms dominate the Drake Passage. The strait seems to be home to all hurricane waves in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, with winds above level 8 365 days a year. Even the 10,000-ton giant ship was trembling like a leaf on the rough sea. This strait has been the subject of a stormy storm all year round, and has historically capsized countless ships here. As a result, Drake Passage is known as the "Murderous Westerly Belt", "Storm Corridor", and "Devil's Passage", which is a veritable "Death Corridor".

Listening to it this way, it feels like who would dare to go to Antarctica. But, after all, now that technology has developed to this extent, these bad weather basically just make people feel uncomfortable, and of course, there are special people who feel like sitting in a cradle and don't get dizzy at all.

In the early morning, the three decks were covered with water droplets from the wind and waves, and it was said that the wind and waves had reached the sixth floor.

Because Nalan Shiqi felt that she would not be seasick at the beginning, but the feeling was psychological but physically she couldn't overcome it.

I got up at six o'clock in the morning, and after washing, I planned to go to the deck to have a look, and as soon as I went out, I met Mr. Zhao and Sister Ji, who are the kind of people who don't get motion sickness at all! Because there is breakfast at 7 o'clock, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo plan to go to the café on the third floor to have a cup of coffee and eat some snacks, this point is still quite big, and occasionally shakes when walking, and at this time, it was found that there was basically a vomit bag on the handrails against the wall in the public area.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo sat down in the café and poured a cup of black tea, and also took a red apple, because the café had just opened, and the apple was taken out of the refrigerator, which was relatively cold, but they still ate it. After eating, he looked at the waves outside the window, and felt more and more dizzy, so Nalan Shiqi directly lay down on the chair first to slow down. At about 7 o'clock, Yunluo said that either Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo would go to the sixth floor for breakfast, and there was no way to stand up and walk forward. As soon as I got out of the café door, I was about to vomit, and I rushed to the bathroom next to it and vomited out a whole apple at all.

But I still have to eat something, so I continued to eat breakfast in the cafeteria on the sixth floor, ate six or seven minutes full, and then wanted to go to the deck to blow the wind, fortunately there was a spare vomit bag in the pocket of the jacket, because the wind blowing directly when the door opened the door and vomited half of it.

Nalan Shiqi ran downstairs from the elevator and went back to the room to lift the corpse! In the past two days, Nalan Shiqi seems to have gotten up two or three times, and he hasn't been to the cafeteria once anyway.

Nalan Shiqi found that seasickness really lost weight, because at this time, people who regulate their body functions don't want to eat at all! Phew. Anyway, Nalan Shiqi knew that Nalan Shiqi was not alone, many big brothers and sisters lay in the room for two days before getting up like Nalan Shiqi haha.

At that time, if there was a strong wind and waves, I didn't dare to go to the bathroom, because sitting on the toilet was unstable and dangling back and forth. And there is a fatter big brother who slept in the middle of the night and threw him on the ground.,o(╯□╰)o。 In short, it is impossible to see the beautiful Antarctic without experiencing the wind and waves.
