Chapter 517: Hot Springs Under the Ice

Antarctica, the White Continent, covers an area of about 14 million square kilometers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This white continent, with an average temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius, is the only place on the modern earth that is isolated from a civilization that is not inhabited by humans.

However, since the emergence of the Raqqa civilization more than a decade ago, there have been more and more expeditions to Antarctica.

But the number of expeditions is nothing compared to the vast Antarctic continent.

East Antarctica, an inland icy plateau, where terrifying hurricanes whipped up ice and snow and roared in the dim sky.

May is the cold season in Antarctica, and although it is not close to the extreme, the temperature has dropped to a terrifying minus 60°C.

However, in this colorless world that seemed to be hell, the two figures walked unhurriedly in this piercing place.

"Almost there?" Li Jiani asked dejectedly. She had little visibility from the outside world in her armor, only a mess of wind and snow.

"I'll take a look." The lotus flower stopped and looked around, according to the explorer's route, it should be this direction. But I can't say for sure, after all, it's a record from 150 years ago.

Are there volcanoes in Antarctica? Naturally, there is. However, most of them are under ice at least 2,000 meters.

Although the expedition described its depth as an abyss, it was impossible for it to actually fall into the ice. You know, they made it out of the South Pole alive.

The reason why such places are not hyped up is simply because they have little value.

Of course, there are also many teams that have tried to find this magical place.

However, if you want to search for targets in such a vast and extreme environment, manpower, material resources, funds, and time are all indispensable.

No normal person would spend a lot of money to find a hot spring with a weak ice cap.

Over time, ancient books like this, which do not meet the value of interests, are abandoned to the corners of history. Until an earth-level player slowly flipped it open.

"It should be there." Lotus squinted and pointed to the vague outline a kilometer away, "According to my guess, it should be between glacial basins." ”

"Got it?" Li Jiani's spirit was shocked, and she hurriedly climbed on his back and urged: "Hurry, hurry!" I'm going to die! ”

"Yes." The lotus replied, and there was no need to leave, and flew directly towards the target place.

A kilometer of distance flew by, jumped over the glacier, and below was indeed a basin that sloped slightly inward.

The basin is large, about nearly a kilometer in length, and is surrounded by glaciers of various sizes.

The lotus carried Li Jiani in a slow near-ground flight, and after moving forward for about three hundred meters, a thin mist quietly blended into the violent wind and snow.

"Found it." Lotus looked at the ice cave that suddenly appeared on the ice not far away and breathed a sigh of relief.

The ice cave is circular in shape, about six meters in diameter, and the entrance is filled with an ethereal mist.

It's hard to imagine such a wonderful picture in such a place of ice and snow that can be called a forbidden area for humans.

"Wow!" Li Jiani was already completely energetic, and said excitedly: "Hurry up, let's go down to the hot springs!" ”

"Don't worry." The lotus flower glanced down at the smoke-filled hole and slowly descended.

Inside the ice cave, the smoke is filled, and the temperature gradually changes as the depth drops.

The passage of the ice cave is not vertically downward, but at an angle of inclination, with a slope of about 40 degrees.

Fifteen meters perpendicular to the ice, they reached the cave.

With the lights on, this paradise in Antarctica finally appeared in front of the two.

It is an underglacial space about 5 meters high and 100 meters long and wide.

In the center there is a pale blue hot spring surrounded by a thick mist, and the size of the hot spring is about fifty or sixty square meters.

The most amazing thing is that this space under the ice is actually scattered with snowflakes, like an ice and snow fairyland.

"There's also an ice cave vent over there." Lotus pointed to the distance and sighed: "There is no record of this place by the Raqqa people, and this place should be formed within 10,000 years. ”

"Maybe it was once just a closed subglacial melt hole, or maybe it was just a thin layer of ice."

"Because of the geothermal changes, it may just be that the Raqqa people inadvertently created an inconspicuous ice cave, and over time, the heat melted the ice, and finally formed a certain proportion of the hole. The Antarctic wind seeped in, swept away the heat and opened another entrance, and finally formed the magic of this place. ”

"Eun!" Li Jiani pouted her ass and stretched out her hand to touch it by the hot spring, and said in surprise: "Wow, the temperature is just right!" ”

The lotus used her foot to sweep the snow from the ground, and below it was gray-black frozen rock.

He went to the edge of the hot spring and looked inside, and the pale blue water was very clear, no more than two meters deep, and the bottom of the water was covered with rocks of different shapes.

Li Jiani got up and waited for his decision, she wouldn't go down without permission, in case she fell.

The lotus flower circled the spring, and the water source was fresh water, and there was no doubt that the inside of the spring was all exposed rock formations, and the water was collected here by infiltration.

"I'll go down and try it first." Lotus already had a judgment in her heart, and said while undressing, "You wait a while." ”

"Okay!" Li Jiani also took off with him, and Bai Huahua's body squatted by the edge of the pool and waited for the result without blinking.

The lotus flower had nothing to hesitate about, and went into the water without saying a word, and the moment he stepped on the bottom of the water, he confirmed what he was thinking, and beckoned to the woman squatting on the shore, "Come down, the rocks at the bottom of the water are a little hot." ”

"I'm coming!" Li Jiani immediately cheered, screamed and pounced on his position.

Seeing this, Lotus hurriedly opened her arms and took her into her arms, hugged her in her arms and smiled: "How do you feel?" ”

"It's so warm! It's so cool! Wow, and foot massage! It's fun! Li Jiani tiptoed on the rocks under the water, and was very happy.

The temperature of the spring water is about 42 degrees Celsius, and the rocks at the bottom of the water are about 52 degrees Celsius.

Lotus patted her buttocks, motioned for her to play by herself, looked around and said, "It's not bad here, it can be repaired." ”

"Yes, yes, build a hut on the shore! The hot springs also need to be decorated! Li Jiani happily echoed: "If you want to make it beautiful, let's live here in the future!" ”

"Come on." Lotus didn't believe this, this woman would be tired in a few days. He got up, went ashore and took out a towel to wipe it, and said, "I'll go and get everything." ”

"I'll go too, I'll go!" Li Jiani hurriedly followed out when she heard this, her wet body snuggled in his arms, and she looked up with her little face coquettishly, "I'm afraid!" ”
