C1952

"Honey, I feel like a dream now." Amelia leaned on Xiao Peng's shoulder.

Xiao Peng ha ha a smile: "don't say you, I also have such feeling now."

"Is it OK for you to drive the plane out like this?" Amelia asked.

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "do you mean this plane? Hey, this is our family already. Scientists at Argentina's scientific research station are very happy to sell us this plane. "

Emilia blinked. "Are they willing to sell such a precious vehicle?"

"What's wrong with you? They had a mechanical problem and the plane crashed into the ice. The pilot was rescued by a passing Chinese scientific research team, which shows the international spirit that everyone in Antarctica, regardless of nationality or race, may lend a helping hand. " Xiao Peng said.

Amelia: "well...... And then you found the plane? "

"That's right." Xiao Peng nodded.

Amelia: cough, be honest. How much did it cost

Xiao Peng grinned: "150000 US dollars, that driver is going back home. You know, Argentina's economy is not very good now. He's going to save himself a pension, isn't he? "

Amelia snorted, "what a scientist, it's a moth."

After hearing this, Xiao Peng said with a smile: "do you think all the people in the Antarctic continent are scientists? There are also ordinary staff, such as maintenance workers, gardeners, drivers and so on. Do you see those chefs in our scientific research station? You think that's a chef with a doctorate? Is it possible? "

The composition of each scientific research station is made up of researchers and staff. Don't underestimate the staff here. They are all of high value! Like the chefs in their scientific research stations, their annual salary is more than 300000!

Of course, there are dangers, and most of them are not guaranteed. Just like the Argentinean pilot who sold the plane to Xiao Peng, his income here is really good, with an annual salary of 80000 dollars. But in places like Antarctica, after three years of work, forced landing and other things happened five times! And there's no guarantee after retirement.

He actually wanted to stay in Antarctica for a few more years, and...... He was snow blind and couldn't go on with the job.

There are many people suffering from snow blindness in Antarctica. It is a symptom of temporary blindness caused by strong light stimulation of the retina. Especially in the snow, the radiation rate of the snow to sunlight is too high. People look at the snow almost equal to looking at the sun directly, so it is easy to cause snow blindness. Those who go to stay in the snow should wear sunglasses to prevent snow blindness.

But here's a question: the Inuit and other aborigines in the Arctic live in the snow every day, and they don't have sunglasses. Why do they rarely suffer from snow blindness?

So there is another saying that the main cause of snow blindness is that there is nothing in the snow. Human eyes are always exploring the world around them tirelessly. If they can't find any landing point for a long time, they will lose their eyesight because of tension.

A lot of people believe it. Well, it's just a rumor from reader's Digest. The reason why the Eskimos don't suffer from snow blindness is that they have experience, they never look at the snow face squarely, and they know how to block the sun with things such as face wipes.

In fact, generally speaking, people with snow blindness will recover their vision after a few days' rest. However, if people who have suffered from snow blindness do not pay attention to it, it is easy to snow blindness again, and it is more and more serious each time. Finally, people's vision will have serious problems and even permanent blindness.

As an airplane pilot, suffering from snow blindness is equivalent to the death penalty for his career. So I had to make a profit for the driver before he retired.

"How did you find him?" Amelia asked

Xiao Peng grinned: "Lao Li in the scientific research station is a big radish with flower heart. He runs to the south pole to use tinder. Well, you know

Tinder is similar to Momo in China. Well, it's a dating software, not a dating software. This software is very popular in Antarctica. A few years ago, a star star scientist and a hawk beauty scientist used the software to make an appointment. This software has become an important tool to connect feelings between various scientific research stations in Antarctica.

Amelia was stunned: "did he contact a man?"

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "don't criticize the orientation of others. But for him, I couldn't have bought the plane, could I? We can't go to such a wonderful place without this plane, can we? "

Emilia nodded. "It's a miracle of nature."

It's no exaggeration for him to say that. He and Amelia are now on the famous "deception island" in Antarctica.

The location of deception island is not far away from tierrand. The South Shetland Islands are the first to cross the Drake Strait. Deception island is an island in the South Shetland Islands, which is located at the northern end of fusta Bay. It's a U-shaped volcanic island.

The reason why it is called deception island is that over 100 years ago, several fishermen happened to find an island in the fog. However, as soon as the sea water rose, the island disappeared, as if it did not exist at all. Therefore, it was named "deception island".And this is where human exploration of Antarctica began.

In 1918, the eagles discovered the island and occupied it. They used it as a whaling base: Yes, although the Hawks are against Japanese whaling most strongly, they were also the pioneers of whaling. On this deceptive island alone, the eagles refined more than 3.6 million barrels of whale oil! Now there are the ruins of the whale oil factory. This is the first place for human beings to explore the South Pole.

Later, Chile, eagles and Argentina all set up scientific research stations here, and Norway also established whale processing plants here. It was definitely the most bustling place in Antarctica.

But here's the problem: it's a volcanic island, and it's an active volcanic island. In 1967, when the volcano erupted, the entire deception island was covered with volcanic ash, the scientific research stations were reduced to ashes, and the whale processing plant was engulfed by volcanic ash. Since then, the inspection stations on the island have been closed and have never been rebuilt.

But now it is still one of the busiest places in Antarctica.

That's because it's the only Antarctic resort where ordinary people can take a bath: because of volcanoes, there are many hot springs. Xiao Peng and Amelia are now in the hot spring.

It's a wonderful feeling. Now the Shanghai wind of deception island is not small. The wind slaps the face with broken ice foam, like an ice knife. Xiao Peng and Xiao Peng's heads are beginning to freeze. But their bodies are in the warm hot spring, and their bodies are red all over the body. It's definitely a double day of ice and fire.

Amelia was a little nervous: "honey, the wind won't get stronger, will it?"? We're not going back? "

Xiao Peng comforted her and said, "don't worry. I checked the satellite cloud map before I came here. It's all a breeze."

Emilia sighed, "I don't know what I'm doing in Antarctica this time. You said that it's been nearly two months since I came to Antarctica, and I just played with you every day."

Xiao Peng was stunned: "what is blind play? Are you going to follow the airport? We came to Antarctica to do scientific research, not coolie. Besides, the palm tree fossil you found can make you leave a name in the history of world science? And you found a moon meteorite, tut. How wonderful

At present, there are 50 airports in Antarctica. Of course, they are all simple ice airports. You can be the captain after pressing and leveling the ice and snow vehicles. But Huaxia has not set up airports here. They are using airports of other countries. Now they have decided to build their own airports.

Amelia laughed. "It's all luck."

There is a "dry valley" in Antarctica. If the Antarctic is the driest place in the world, then the "dry valley" is the driest place in Antarctica.

In fact, it hardly snows in Antarctica.

We all know that it is easy to snow when it is cold, but there is no snow when it is too cold. How can water evaporate into steam at such a low temperature? A little water molecules are frozen into ice and snow on the ground. And the Antarctic wind is not for fun, a bit of snow may also let the wind blow away.

But there are many places in Antarctica that are extremely dry and have no ice or snow. Such places generally exist in valleys. Dry valley is one of them.

When Xiao Peng and Amelia accompanied her to observe the emperor penguins, they entered the "dry valley". However, Amelia, who was lucky enough to blow her watch, discovered a fossil palm tree.

Fossil plants have been found in Antarctica. After all, 530000 years ago, the temperature here was above 20 degrees. But this is the first time such a large fossil palm tree has been found! And Amelia also found a moon meteorite, which has to be admired for her care.

It's also interesting to say that Antarctica is the place with the largest number of meteorites in the world. So far, more than 20000 meteorites have been found here. After all, it is a vast expanse of ice and snow, and the probability of discovering meteorites will be higher.

Xiao Peng looked at the bad situation around him and said with a bad smile: "honey, we can do what we did in the ice house last night..."

"Here?" Emilia's eyes widened. "What's on your mind?"

Xiao Peng said happily: "anyway, there is no one else here."

Amelia has been far away: "who said no one else? What is that? "

Xiao Peng looks back, eh? I don't know when a cruise ship came. But it's not surprising to see a cruise here. There are many tourists in Antarctica in summer, and deception island is a must for tourists to visit Antarctica.

"Well, it's not a good time." Xiao Peng was disappointed.

Amelia was a little puzzled: "honey, if I'm not wrong, it seems that the cruise down is a group of soldiers?"

"Well?" Xiao Peng is stunned after hearing this. He lies in the trough. He is a soldier of xingtiao country! What's more, they are soldiers with guns! What are the stars and stripes doing? Running here to keep world peace?
