Iceland is an amazing country. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

First of all, the origin of the name of this country is magical enough, listening to the name and the fact that this country is close to the Arctic Ocean, many people think that the climate of this country should be cold all year round.

In fact, this is not the case, and one reason for the current circulation is that it stems from the machinations of the colonizers.

After the original colonists settled on the island, they did not want others to share their "food", hence the name "Iceland", and wanted to use this name to disguise the cold climate of the island and prevent people from coming to the island.

It was 9 o'clock in the morning when the plane landed at Reykjavik International Airport, the New Zealand sun was shining, and the wind was howling and the sky was dark.

Bo Dad and Bo Ma didn't know the specific situation of Iceland, they woke up and looked outside, and wondered: "Didn't you say that we landed at nine o'clock local time?" Is it too early or too late? It's still dark before dawn. ”

"It's not dawn yet, it's nine o'clock in the morning." Eva explained.

Bo Dad was stunned: "It's not dawn at nine o'clock in the morning?!" ”

Eva nodded, "Yes Dad, at this time of year, there are only five hours of dawn in a day. ”

Bo Dad and Bo Ma were dumbfounded: "Then what are we doing here?" Why don't you go back to your hometown, it's too short, right? ”

Wang Bo smiled: "Yes, the day is very short, but the climate and environment here in Iceland are very good." ”

"Good weather? There's still snow outside, and you told me the weather is good? Bo Dad said angrily.

Bo Ma thought for a while and said, "We're in the Arctic Circle, right?" In a normal place, how can the sky be so short? ”

Bo Dad sighed and said, "It's really a job, why do young people like it so much?" Good New Zealand spring but, running for winter. ”

Little Lori said: "No, uncle, we are here for Christmas, it will be cold and snowy for Christmas, and one year we also went to Santa's hometown, which is beautiful." ”

Bo Dad said: "Anyway, we are already here, we have to stay here whether we are beautiful or not, come, old woman, put on another dress for my granddaughter, and stuff the princess in her arms to warm up, don't freeze the child." ”

The plane landed, and they began to pack up.

Wang Bo said to Eva: "I finally came to Iceland, I just studied geography when I was in junior high school, and it was easy to confuse two places, Iceland and Greenland. ”

Greenland's name is a green island and Iceland is an icy island, but the opposite is true: Iceland has a mild climate and green everywhere, while Greenland is icy and not green.

In the regions close to the polar regions, Iceland has one of the best climates and environments.

This is due to its unique location at the confluence of the Atlantic and Arctic oceans, at high latitudes.

However, due to the influence of the North Atlantic Current and the control of the westerly wind belt, it belongs to the temperate oceanic climate, which is a special climate in the same latitude.

This vast island is heavily influenced by the North Atlantic Current, whose main stream flows south and one of which circles to the west and north.

As a result, despite being located near the Arctic Circle, winter temperatures are not low, with an average temperature of around minus two degrees, which is milder than New Zealand's winter.

They were unlucky, the plane landed when the wind was howling outside, and there were some snowflakes in it, and it was still relatively cold.

The captain of the plane often comes to Iceland, he came over to help Wang Bo pack his luggage, and said with a smile: "If you don't like the weather in Iceland at this time, then please wait for five minutes, it may be worse than now." ”

Wang Bo smiled bitterly: "My God, luck won't be so bad, right?" ”

The captain said regretfully: "Mr. Mayor, it's not that you're unlucky, but anyone who knows a little about the weather in Iceland knows that the weather here is simply an unsolved mystery - you can only guess." ”

At first, Wang Bo thought that the captain's words were a bit exaggerated, but when they packed up their things and were about to leave, the car had just driven out of the airport, and the howling cold wind suddenly began to decrease, and there were no snowflakes.

Seeing this, Eva said happily: "It seems that Iceland still welcomes us." ”

The driver of the car was the caretaker of the Bach, who was a small butler who was responsible for the maintenance of many Bachs, and when he learned that they were on vacation, he came to receive them.

Listening to Eva's words, he looked back and smiled: "Yes, ma'am, this wind has been blowing for a day and a night, and it is a good thing that you stopped when you first came. ”

Wang Bodao: "Mr. Morrison, please watch the road, don't speed up when you turn back like this!" ”

Butler Morrison shrugged and said, "Don't worry, in the next hour, there won't be more than ten cars on this road, and we can drive with confidence." ”

With an area of 103,000 square kilometers and a population of only 300,000, Iceland is the least densely populated country in Europe.

The airport is only a five-minute drive from the capital, Reykjavík, and this is a Lonely Planet introduction, which seems a bit of a joke, after all, all airports are built far away from urban areas to prevent disturbances.

But this is true at Reykjavík International Airport, which is home to two-thirds of the population of the southwest near the capital.

Icelanders like freedom and quiet, so they built a house and spread it all the way to the airport.

However, the airport is quite far from the city center, a full 50 kilometers.

They were heading to the north of the capital, where Bach is located, and Reykjavík is located in the west of Iceland, facing the sea to the west and surrounded by mountains to the north and east.

Little Lori asked with great interest, "Uncle, is our house beautiful?" ”

Morrison laughed, "Yes, my lady, it's just beautiful, you need to see it for yourself, I can't tell." ”

"It would be nice if you arrived from June to the end of August, when we have polar day in Iceland, almost no nights, and there will be a lot of activity throughout the day."

Wang Bo said: "In fact, we also have it in New Zealand, do you know the South Island of New Zealand? It's very close to the South Pole, and the southernmost part of the island also has a polar day and night, but it's shorter. ”

Eva shook her head as well: "I'm not interested in polar day or polar night. ”

"Why?" Morrison asked, puzzled.

Eva shrugged, "Because the dark environment makes me drowsy, and I can't sleep well at dawn, then, I can't sleep well all day during the polar day, and I want to sleep all day at the polar night." ”

Wang Bo gave her a thumbs up, this is really my love sleeping daughter-in-law's style.

Because of the darkness, Morrison said the road was flat, but he was actually very careful with his drive: "It was to avoid the rabbits, stupid birds and reindeer that might rush into the road." ”
