1445.Floating Ilulissat Glacier Bay (5/5)

Qin Shiou told a small lie, saying that he had seen it in the ship museum.

The owner of the ship nodded suddenly, "Yes, CHALUPAS is rare now, my ship was left to me by my father, it is no longer suitable for whaling, so I use it to develop tourism." ”

The expressions of the black knife and the others were more cautious, such an old ship, a piece of iceberg scum can be smashed, right?

IN FACT, THEY GUESSED WRONG, AND THE WOODEN BOAT DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE NEAREST ICEBERG, AND THE OWNER TOLD THEM: "CHALUPAS WAS MADE FOR WHALING, SO IT HAS A NARROW BOTTOM, WHICH IS TO REDUCE DRAG AND CREATE MORE SPEED." Therefore, we can get closer to the iceberg and do not have to worry about accidents due to the bottom of the boat touching the underwater iceberg. ”

The iceberg that the owner is looking for looks solid, it is a large block of ice, and there is no need to worry about ice falling and hitting the boat or falling into the water to create big waves.

After getting closer, Qin Shiou looked up at the iceberg, which was two hundred meters high, and exclaimed: "My God Dad, this iceberg is so big when it comes out of the water, how big is it underwater?" ”

The density of ice is about 9 g/cubic meter, while the density of seawater is about 1025 kg/cubic meter, and according to Archimedes' law, about 90% of the volume of free-floating icebergs sinks under the surface of seawater.

Therefore, looking at the shape floating on the water, you can't guess the shape and scale of the underwater, and the word "tip of the iceberg" is not made up.

The fishermen and sailors in the North Atlantic are most afraid of encountering icebergs, which are more terrible than storms, icebergs are very strong, and the strength of the metal is reduced in the low temperature environment.

The underwater part of the iceberg is too large. So much so that when they are discovered, even if the ship turns, it will not have time to get out of the sea area that it can influence.

However, the old sailors of the North Atlantic had a knack for distinguishing the size and basic shape of the underwater part of the iceberg, and when he saw this iceberg, the owner of the ship said: "This iceberg is gentle, not wild." OTHERWISE, EVEN DRIVING CHALUPAS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET CLOSE. ”

Qin Shiou released the Seagod Consciousness, and then saw the full picture of the iceberg.

The whole picture of the iceberg is very scary, only a piece of ice is exposed on the sea, but there is a mountain under the water, no wonder it is called an iceberg!

In addition, as the owner said, this iceberg is soft, although it is large, but the shape is relatively standard. The underwater iceberg is an ordinary irregular inverted triangular column, so that it has a smooth arc and the boat does not touch it.

The underwater part of some icebergs is craggy, just like a reef with its own, and it may hit the ship at some point, which is a violent iceberg.

AS CHALUPAS CONTINUED TO MOVE ON THE SURFACE, THE OWNER SMILED AND ASKED, "DO YOU LIKE FISH?" If you like, I can please you. ”

Qin Shiou said: "Aren't we in a hurry?" How do you fish like that? ”

The owner shrugged and said, "No need to fish." My brother, I don't need a fishing rod. Soon, come on, look at the ice floe, let's go fishing, there are no tools to catch fish here. ”

The boat moved nimbly between the freezers, and soon the owner's face was happy. Approaching a round table-sized ice floe, he reached out to the ice cube and smiled, "Look, we've caught a fish." ”

Qin Shiou followed his instructions and found that there were indeed some traces of fish on the ice. This fish has a long and flattened body, a round mouth, large eyes, thin gills, a purple-brown back, light sides, and small black spots on the top near the head.

The owner of the boat looked at it, took out a fishing net from the stern, threw it out, and said, "This fish tastes very good, so I will use it to make you lunch." ”

"Arctic grayling, indeed, delicious and nutritious." Qin Shiou nodded.

The owner of the ship was a little surprised, and said: "You are so good, you know not only CHALUPAS, but also Arctic grayling, it seems that you have done your homework for this trip to Greenland." Well, I guess, you must have been very good when you were in school. ”

Hearing his compliment, Winnie's face was full of joy, and she said, "Then you guessed wrong, Mr. Captain, in fact my husband is a scumbag, but he is an excellent fisherman, and he has studied fishing boats and all kinds of fish and shrimp very thoroughly. ”

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Honey, are you complimenting me?" ”

Winnie patted him on the cheek and smiled, "Of course, I'm your wife, and of course I'm complimenting you." ”

The ice floe was so smooth that the nets thrown out couldn't catch it, and while chatting with them, the owner took out his thick wetsuit-like clothes and said, "Okay guys, we've got lunch down, I'm going down and bringing them up, you can try your hand at ice floating." ”

Black Knife asked, "Floating in the sea of ice?" What do you mean? ”

The owner smiled and took off his coat, quickly changed into a thick diving suit, and then after falling into the water, he lay on his back on the water with his head up, the diving suit was very thick, and it was filled with air, so it was very buoyant, like a small boat on a person.

Qin Shiou moved a little and asked, "It won't be cold, right?" ”

Needless to say, "Of course it's not cold, the sea is much warmer than the air, you can try it, it's fun—we don't have many games to play here, so if you don't want to come in vain, entertain yourself." ”

Qin Shiou felt that what the little guy said made sense, so he also changed to a new one and lay on his back and fell into the water.

Indeed, as the little doorman said, it is not cold at all when soaked in water, and the temperature of the sea water is about zero degrees Celsius, which is more than ten degrees Celsius higher than the air.

Black Knife and the others understood this and wanted to get off the boat, but there was no such opportunity, Winnie handed over her daughter to him and said, "Take care of our little princess, don't you want to play on the water?" ”

Black Knife helplessly watched Winnie change her clothes and go into the water, muttering, "Oh, yes, we don't want to play on the water, but we want to play underwater." ”

BB said: "It's not 'us', man, it's 'yourself', goodbye, I'm going down too." ”

As he spoke, he took off his coat and got into a thick diving suit, and immediately jumped into the water, the osprey and the trigger did not speak, quickly changed his clothes, and only beckoned to the black knife after jumping into the water.

The angry bag ran a little slower, and the black knife grabbed him and said angrily: "Don't be angry!" Do you want to go down too? No, stay with me, let's take care of the little princess together. ”

The little girl hung on the chest of the black knife and grunted with big eyes to look around, only these big eyes were exposed all over her body, and they were hung on the chest of the black knife, which made the angry bag laugh: "Boss, you seem to be hanging an explosives bag." ”

"I'm a fake! Laughing so happily? The black knife said dissatisfiedly, "Then very good, you come here, hang it up for you!" (To be continued......)
