    Ilulissat Ice Fjord is located on the west coast of Greenland, about 250 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. It is very close to residential areas. Although the city of Ilulissat is small, it is spread out very widely. There are many ice fjords on the coast.  There are some residential buildings, restaurants, hotels and the like open.

    The season when Qin Shiou comes is suitable for watching the aurora, but not suitable for traveling.

    The little doorman told them that if they came here in the summer, the snow along the coast of the glacier would melt, revealing weeds and shrubs, and there would be a lot of green shade, which would be much more beautiful than it is now.

    In Ilulissat, everything is black and white. It is a world of ice and snow, and a world without color.

    Of course, this refers to the ground. The beauty of the sky is something Qin Shiou has only seen in his life. If the charm of the night sky in the world can be divided into ten parts, then the night sky in the Arctic Circle accounts for eight parts!

    Of course, Qin Daguan felt that Farewell Island¡¯s night sky should also have a share, and the rest should be shared.

    As the sled glided, the spectacular glacier bay gradually emerged from its view.

    Every year, Greenland transports a large amount of ice caps to the ocean. Ilulissat Glacier Fjord is one of the outlets of glaciers entering the sea and is also the location of the most active glaciers in the world.

    The little doorman introduced them: "This fjord is very long, gentlemen. It's just that it's winter and there are too many glaciers floating on the water. We can't see very far. In fact, it is 40 kilometers long!"

    "Wow, that's amazing." Winnie smiled in agreement.

    The little doorman pinched his nose, raised his head proudly and said, "Of course, this is a world heritage. I mean, what kind of world cultural heritage is this glacier bay?"

    Qin Shiou corrected casually: "It's a world heritage, right? This bay and culture should have nothing to do with each other."

    What he said was right, but the little doorman was unconvinced and told him that there was an art gallery on the shore, which was full of paintings or sculptures made by tourists for the glacier. He insisted that the glacier was  Full of culture.

    The source of the ice fjord is the Jakobshavn Glacier in the eastern region. It is the glacier with the largest flow in the northern hemisphere. It can flow 20 to 35 meters every day. Every year, 20 billion tons of icebergs calve and discharge into the fjord!

    Qin Shiou and others parked their sleds and snowmobiles on the bank, stood on the river bank and looked down, seeing magnificent icebergs drifting along the current.

    There were constant sounds of "Gahba Gahba" in the ice bay. Qin Shiou knew that this was the terrible sound made by ice cubes cracking in the water. From time to time there would be a loud "bang" sound, which was the big ice cubes falling from the glacier.  , can splash huge waves after falling into the water.

    Even though the winter temperature here always remains below minus ten degrees Celsius, the glacier still does not freeze because icebergs continue to come down the river and destroy the frozen river surface.  Not to mention just the frozen river surface, even steel plates can be broken by icebergs.

    Looking at the slowly drifting icebergs, Winnie exclaimed: "I have never seen such a large iceberg. The ice floes in St. John's are very small. I think if I look at the icebergs up close, it will feel more beautiful."  Spectacular.¡±

    After hearing what he said, the little doorman rolled his eyes and ran away.

    In the spring, the floating ice on the sea surface of St. John's is the product of these icebergs melting and breaking up. After the broken icebergs flow out of the sea, they initially follow the current to the north, and then turn south, so that they can flow into the Atlantic Ocean.

    Some relatively large icebergs often have to drift to the sea surface at a latitude similar to New York before they melt. But that was in the past. Now that global temperatures are rising, the influence of the greenhouse effect has spread to the Arctic, so the icebergs will melt before leaving Canadian waters.  Almost exhausted.

    The little doorman ran back after leaving for a while and said happily: "You have to thank me. I found a sightseeing boat. You can go to the river to see the icebergs more clearly, and you can also go rafting!"

    Followed by a middle-aged white man, he came over and asked: "Do you want to go to the river to see it? But the speed must be fast. There are only two hours until dark, and we must come back before dark."

    In Ilulissat, sightseeing boats only go out to sea in April when the ice and snow melt. This season is very dangerous. As this person said, you have to get back before the sun disappears, otherwise you will have to wait.  Buried under the iceberg.

    Qin Shiou shook hands with him, and then looked at Wei Ni, Hei Dao and others. Hei Dao shook his head vigorously. Damn it, you can see glaciers everywhere in this bay. Going out to sea at this time is life-threatening!  It's more life-threatening than fighting terrorists in the Middle East!

    Winnie didn¡¯t express her position, but she was somewhat moved.

    Seeing this, Qin Shiou hadn¡¯t agreed yet, and Black Sword and his entourage immediatelyHis face is earthy, okay, get ready to risk your life.

    Sure enough, Qin Shiou said to the boat owner: "Okay, how much does it cost? Let's go out to sea and go around, just look at the icebergs."

    The doormat squeaked and said: "Boss, can I watch the snowmobiles here?"

    The little doorman said unhappily: "We don't have thieves here! You know, our city's security is the best in the world! The best!"

    The doormat likes to tease children, so he said: "How do you judge? I also said that St. John's has the best security."

    The doorman asked, "How many police officers do you have in St. John's?"

    The doormat was stunned and said inexplicably: "How do I know this? Maybe two hundred? Three hundred?"

    The little doorman smiled happily: "We only have six policemen in Ilulissat! Doesn't this explain the problem?"

    Qin Shiou lazily argued with these five cowards, and said: "This is voluntary. If you don't want to get on the boat, just wait here."

    The doormat suddenly beamed with joy. Heidao glared at him and said angrily: "What about professional ethics? We are bodyguards now, do you understand?"

    Qin Shiou secretly thought that if there was an accident at sea, he still wouldn't know who would protect whom.

    Going out to sea is not just about seeing icebergs, there is another project, which is floating on the ice sea.

    The boat they were on was a wooden boat, only six meters long. With so many people on board, it looked a bit dangerous.

    Heidao¡¯s face turned pale. After they got on the boat, they sat down obediently and kept making crosses on their chests.

    Qin Shiou's eyes lit up when he saw the ship and said, "I have seen this kind of ship. This ship must have a long history, right?"

    The reason why he said this is because the place where he saw this kind of ship was on the bottom of the sea, where he discovered the Black Ax pirate ship in the North Sea. At that time, there were four such small boats hanging on the stern of the pirate ship.

    The pirate ship has sunk to the bottom of the sea for more than three hundred years. This ship must have a long history.

    The boat owner looked at him in surprise and said, "Have you ever seen chalupas? Oh, that's the name of this kind of boat. It used to be used as a whaling boat. Our ancestors rowed such fragile wooden boats to go to sea.  Whale fishing." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
