After leaving St. Johns, the blue whale plunged into the blue Labrador Sea and continued its journey north.

In this sea area, the temperature during the day is still appropriate. The maximum temperature in the afternoon can rise to about 30 degrees, but once the sun starts to tilt westward, the temperature will soon fall down. At night, the temperature in the Labrador Sea area can reach about 10 degrees. Even on the ocean, the temperature difference is great.

The Labrador cold current, which originates from Baffin Bay further north, must flow through this area before it enters the Atlantic Ocean southward. The existence of cold current makes the temperature here much lower than the sea area in the south.

The main reason for the formation of the Newfoundland fishing ground just passed by the blue whale is the intersection of the Labrador cold current and the Mexican warm current.

According to captain Andre's navigation plan, after the blue whale set out from Boston, it would make a fresh water supply in Nuuk, the largest port city in southwest Greenland, and then directly enter the Arctic Ocean. Last night, despite the delay of half a day in St. Johns, it was nothing at all for this long voyage.

For example, when the blue whale went to Antarctica for scientific research, it often waited for a long time at the port of Argentina because of sudden changes in the weather conditions in the Antarctic sea area. Although I stayed in St. John's for half a day this time, it was because the employer invited me to have a seafood dinner. It's a good thing. The crew would rather come more than once. Who cares about the delay of half a day?

The distance from St. Johns to Nuuk is about 1160 nautical miles. At the speed of the blue whale, it takes about 80 hours.

After three and a half days at sea, the blue whale finally approached Nuuk in southwest Greenland.

Even if it has entered the midsummer season, the temperature in Nuuk is still very low. The maximum temperature here during the day is only about 20 degrees, and the temperature will directly drop to about zero at night.

Nuuk is the largest city and port in Greenland. Of course, this city is also the capital of Greenland. However, even if this city is the largest city in Greenland, the permanent resident population of this city is only about 17000, which is similar to an ordinary Township in China

Although nuke is close to the Arctic Circle, the deep nuke port at the exit of gothob Strait has very few frozen days in a year. So it has become the largest city in Greenland.

There are no agricultural crops around Nuuk, which is not suitable for agricultural development, but fishery is the pillar industry here. Most of the people coming and going in the port are fishing boats.

The blue whale is very big. In terms of nuke port, it belongs to the ship of Big Mac. Moreover, nuke port has only one 10000 ton berth and is still at the outer wharf, so the blue whale can only dock at that wharf.

The blue whale will dock at Nuuk port for two days. In addition to fresh water supply, it is more important to let the crew relax completely before entering the Arctic Ocean.

Blue whale is a scientific research ship. Unlike ocean going cargo ships, it will not land until it reaches its destination. In order to take care of the scientific research personnel on board, the scientific research ship often creates landing conditions as much as possible. There's no way to get ashore, but as long as you can get ashore, you'll basically get ashore.

Nuke port is still far away from the Arctic Ocean. Unfortunately, there is no port for the blue whale to dock further north. This is the last port for the blue whale to dock before entering the Arctic Ocean.

After staying on the ship for nearly four days, Yang Jing and Ge Ge felt the earth shaking when they got off the ship.

This is a natural reaction. It's such a beating when you stay on the ship for a long time and just get off the ship. It's like staying at high altitude for a long time (more than 4000 above sea level). Once you go down to low altitude (less than 100 above sea level), it's easy to get drunk

After a little adaptation, the feeling of shaking everywhere slowly disappeared.

Ge Ge sighed and directly spoke Yang Jing's voice - it's better for mother earth!

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Yang Jing and his men arrived at nuke port, but the sky was still bright and the sun was not setting. The sun will not set here until about 10:30 p.m., and then the sky will light up again at more than 3 a.m., and the sun will rise around 3:30.

After getting off the boat, they came to the reserved hotel and had a big meal with local characteristics, Yang Jing and them rested.

As a result, Yang Jing fell asleep and felt that it was bright outside. Vaguely patted Ge Ge up, "honey, it's dawn outside. Don't sleep..."

Ge Ge also rubbed his eyes vaguely and looked at the window. The curtains are not enough to completely block the sun, so it's really dawn outside?

Ge Ge touched his mobile phone, looked at the time, and angrily beat Yang Jing twice, "you fool, it's close to the Arctic Circle, and the sun will come out at more than three in the morning!"

Only then did Yang Jing realize that he had made a big oolong. Grabbed the watch on the bedside table and looked. It was only 3:30 in the morning!

Nothing to say, keep lying down and sleeping!

This sleep didn't wake up until more than seven in the morning. When they went out of the room to eat, they saw Lin Dan sitting in the restaurant with a tired face and two dark circles under his eyes.

Yang Jing stepped forward and stabbed the guy, "what's the matter? I couldn't help making a big sword last night?"

Lin Dan turned his eyes helplessly, "I can't sleep at more than three in the morning. Damn polar day phenomenon!"

As soon as Yang Jing heard this, he was so happy that he laughed with his stomach. Lin Dan sleeps very light, especially sensitive to light. He can't sleep if it's a little brighter. It's better on the ship. The curtains of the cabin window are very tight, basically opaque, and there are eye masks that can be used, so you can ignore the early sun. But not in the hotel. The curtains in this hotel are very general. As soon as the sun comes out, the room will shine slightly. As a result, lindane was forced.

Clark McCann smiled and said, "when I got off the ship last night, I reminded him to come down with an eye mask. Who knows he forgot..."

Ge Ge was happy when he knew it. Everyone in the room was happy, leaving Lin Dan with a sad face.

After breakfast, they made an appointment to visit the beautiful town. After all, if you want to stay here for two days, you can relax.

Nuke in summer is still very beautiful. The snow covered here for eight months has disappeared at this time, but the snow can be seen on the mountain not far away. Some coniferous trees become gloomy at this time, and flowers bloom in this rare warm season.

Stand at the gate of the hotel and wait for the arrival of the local tour guide found by the hotel. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, it's really hard to believe that the small city surrounded by green trees in front of you is a city on the edge of the Arctic circle.

Because Danish or Greenland is spoken here, and few speak English, Yang Jing and Ge Ge have to find a tour guide who understands English. After waiting at the gate of the hotel for more than ten minutes, an Inuit stopped in front of the crowd in a Ford pickup truck.

Inuit people are what we call Eskimos, but in North America, you'd better not say Eskimos, otherwise people will turn their faces. You call people Eskimos, just like Chinese people call outsiders "little red guys". It's strange that people don't turn their faces with you.

Although this guy is a genuine Inuit, he has a very westernized name, "Hey, Hello, I'm Jack etmuk. You can call me Jack. I'm the guide who serves you today."

This jack is not the jack played by little plum in Titanic. This guy is more than one meter nine, has a beard and is very tough. He has a competition with Clark McCann.

After exchanging greetings for a while, Yang Jing and Ge Ge began to visit the city on foot under the leadership of Jack.

Nuuk is too small. Although the city governs an area of more than 100000 square kilometers, the urban area is too small. Even for the airport from the southwest end of the city to the northeast end, the straight-line distance is only five kilometers. As for the width, it is about two kilometers. It takes less than half a day to visit the city on foot.

In fact, as the capital of Greenland, Nuuk still receives many tourists from all over the world every year, which also gives birth to many local tour guides. However, the best season for nuke is winter. Only in that season can we really experience the polar customs.

Jack is obviously a very qualified tour guide. Along the way, he introduced many famous local buildings and scenery to Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge, although there is no beautiful scenery in the city

"See that mountain?" Jack pointed to the high mountain in the northeast. The top of the mountain was still wearing a "white hat" - no melting snow, "That is the most famous sadle mountain in gothob. It is located on selmiziak Island, which is an island in nupu kangrua fjord in the north. Sadle mountain is 1210 meters high and is the highest mountain near gothob. This mountain often appears as a background in our panorama of gothob and can be seen in most parts of the city, It's one of the most famous natural landscapes in gothob. "

Jack said, juggling out a travel brochure. On the cover of the brochure, it was the mountain.

As for what Jack said, gothob is another name for nuke. Nuke is the English name for the capital of Greenland in the west, but among the local people, they are more used to calling the city gothob, because gothob represents good hope in Greenland.

"Can you go to that mountain?" asked Greg, who was also quite fluent in English.

Jack smiled and nodded. "Of course, but although the mountain seems to be close at hand, in fact, it is 20 kilometers away from us, and it needs to be passed by boat. If you are sure you want to enjoy Sadler closely, I can arrange a boat for you."

As soon as he heard that he was going to take a boat again, Ge Ge hesitated slightly, but finally shook his head, "forget it, since he wants to take a boat, he won't go. I'm tired of taking a boat these days."

Jack smiled, not disobedient.
