"The Greenland ice sheet is the largest ice sheet in the Northern Hemisphere, with a depth of 2,530 kilometers from north to south and 1,094 kilometers at its widest point, and the thickness of the ice is amazing, more than 3,000 meters at its deepest point, covering a basin, which means that the thickness of the ice is thicker and thicker as you go further into the middle, and there are two large ice caps on it, and we are going to near one of the ice caps this time.

"In the past few days, the expedition team continued the good fortune of the first day, the weather and the itinerary were very smooth, because the expedition time was in the summer, the edge of the ice sheet has begun to melt, the thickness of the ice has become very thin in many places, and the ice near the sea has fallen from time to time, falling into the sea, walking on it has to be extra careful, but the further you go in, the more stable the ice sheet there becomes.

"We also excavated some slate and fossils, and the geologists and biologists in the team seemed very happy, if they didn't have to move on, I guess they couldn't help but study it on the spot, I thought the configuration of this expedition team was a bit strange, and I was a little worried at first, but as time went on, those retired soldiers were really like Mr. Tam said, just doing what they were supposed to do, so I gradually put my mind at ease and began to enjoy the expedition.

"After all, the reward is one thing, but what really attracted me to this operation was the love of this ice field, especially the exploration of its hidden secrets, it was like unraveling its mysteries little by little, and the most wonderful thing was that every time I felt that I knew enough about it, but in the blink of an eye it revealed a new side to me, as if it was a lover who would never tire you.

"So I thought to myself, this expedition is really for me, of course, just in case I still found Dr. Baker, after all, the only person in the expedition I know the details of is him, although the Chinese couple is also good, I have a good impression, and a few other scientists, they are actually very good, but after all, I have only known them for a long time, so of course I prefer to trust Dr. Baker.

"We agreed to advance and retreat together in the future, and at the same time pay attention to the people around us, mainly those retired soldiers, and exchange information regularly, Baker thought that I was thinking too much, but he still agreed, after all, there is no big mistake in being careful, and then our team continued to move forward, but our good luck seemed to have run out.

"The first to appear abnormal was the dog pack, they suddenly began to bark inexplicably, and some resistance to move forward, before this I have not encountered such a strange thing, the Sled Greenland dog was domesticated by the ancestors of the Inuit, completely lost its wolf nature, became very docile, and hard-working, even when it was minus ten degrees Celsius can spend the night in the wild.

"Although as we went deeper, the temperature began to drop, but it was far from the extent that the Greenlanders could not bear it, so the condition of the dogs at that time was something I did not expect, I had to let the expedition stop first, and then spent another half day constantly pacifying the dogs and preparing more hearty food for them, and they were willing to move on, but I could see that they did not want to do it in their hearts, just because it was my order, and they were used to obeying human orders.

"I was a little surprised by the dogs, but to be honest I didn't pay much attention to it, because this is an expedition, and even if you prepare well, there will always be problems of one kind or another, and that's the role of the guide and the leader, we solve all kinds of problems and make sure the expedition can continue.

"And just after the problem with the dogs, geologists and biologists were idle, and when they were wandering around, they found a new fossil specimen on an exposed rock, and then they quarreled about the age of the fossil, and geologists deduced that this thing came from the ancient period from the point of view of rock formation, but biologists took a different opinion, because from a biological point of view, the thing in the fossil was obviously very well evolved, although it was a little ugly, But the various organs look quite mature.

The biologist thought it had to be at least a Triassic creature, and he didn't want to let go of the fossil after holding it, as if he had learned to paint a real copy of Leonardo da Vinci. The others watched as they argued, but Mr. Tyme was still smiling, and only interceded for them when they were about to get angry.

"In the end, it was agreed that the fossil would be owned by the biologists, and that the geologists would have the right of first refusal to find the fossils or rock samples next time, and that the biologists would lend the fossils to the geologists for a period of time after they had finished researching them.

"It just so happened that I had also settled the dog pack and we were back on our way. Strange to say, when the biologist came back with the fossil, I was so uneasy that I had managed to calm the dogs, so I asked the biologists to find a bag and seal the fossils, so that the dogs' mood stabilized again.

"But then, we only walked a few kilometers, and suddenly the weather changed, which was a precursor to the coming of the blizzard, and we decided to set up camp here and wait for the snow to pass before we went on the road, I took a few retired soldiers, inspected the tents, reinforced them with ice bricks, and put a fence for the dogs, I wanted to build another ice wall for them, but by this time the blizzard had come, so we had to let the dogs join us in the tent.

"They started to get restless again, and this time I felt it very clearly, they seemed to be afraid of something, but I didn't have time to think about the blizzard that had already fallen, and all we could hear was the howling wind and the sound of snow and snow crashing on the tents, and I was glad they had been reinforced before, otherwise I really don't know if the tents would have survived the blizzard.

"Because we couldn't make a fire outside, we nibbled on some biscuits at night, and the dogs kept barking, and I had a hard time sleeping, so I lay in a daze for about an hour, when suddenly I heard gunshots outside, and I opened my eyes and found that the two retired soldiers in the same tent as me had disappeared at some point, and only me and Dr. Baker were left in the tent with wide eyes.
