Jack is a good tour guide. The price of 1000 DKK a day is worth his hard work.

Under his leadership, Yang Jing visited the University of Greenland, which they thought was very poor at first. By visiting the University, Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge learned that the university looks very small on the surface, but it is very informative inside.

The University of Greenland is very good in terms of teachers and library collection, at least much better than expected.

The only thing that made Yang Jing and Ge Ge feel a little uncomfortable was that the University was built next to Nuuk airport, and the straight-line distance from the airport runway was even less than 700 meters.

"I can't help it. Nuuk is so big and the terrain fluctuates constantly. It's not easy to find a place suitable for the construction of the airport. However, although our airport is the capital airport, there are not many planes that can take off and land every year, and most of them are propeller. That kind of jet airliner can't take off and land on this runway only 950 meters long. The noise of propeller aircraft is relatively small More... "

It's so reasonable to say that.

But then again, Yang Jing has never seen such a poor capital airport. Although Nuuk is the smallest capital of a country in the world, at least you are also the capital of a country. As one of the external facade projects, you have built your capital airport better. The airports in many small cities of the third and fourth tier in China are better than this airport

And what the hell is the golf course between the University of Greenland and the airport? If Jack hadn't insisted that this was the only golf course in gothob, Yang Jing and Ge Ge could barely recognize some greens. They really couldn't believe that this was a golf course.

If the golf course in other places is not picturesque, or green grass, even the golf course of the golf club that Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge saw on the Yulong Snow Mountain a few days ago, although it is more than 3000 meters above sea level, there is still green grass and snow mountain, and the scenery is like a picture.

But what the hell is this? Is the turf of the golf course all moss in the cold zone? It seems that the turf of the public football field in many small cities in China is 100 times stronger than here!

It's too shabby. There are trees and

Finally, after seeing a series of "best" events, such as the world's poorest capital airport, the smallest Capital University, and the golf field most like a football field, Yang Jing and Ge Ge finally couldn't bear to go shopping any more.

But then again, this is definitely a very wonderful experience. If they did not see it with their own eyes and let others say, they would not believe that a country with a per capita GDP five times that of China would be so poor.

It's definitely a long experience!

It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. My ancestors really didn't deceive me!

However, the lunch at noon was eaten, and several people were smiling.

Compared with the seafood feast in St. Johns three days ago, the seafood feast here is undoubtedly better.

Many seafood from the cold zone of Labrador Sea or Baffin Bay made Yang Jing happy. Precious Arctic ginseng, delicious Arctic shrimp, and queen crab about the size of the pot cover after spreading out. There are many seafood that are difficult to see outside. They can be eaten if you want, and the price is not expensive.

So, it was really fun to eat one of the two foods from China and five more edible foods from San Francisco.

After lunch and a little rest, the party took a yacht to see whales under the leadership of Jack.

Nuuk is a world-famous whale watching holy land. Although Greenland is located in the far north, it has many pure glaciers, and the excellent seawater environment breeds up to 15 kinds of whales.

If you come to Nuuk to watch whales in winter, you can only see three kinds of whales, narwhals, beluga whales and bowhead whales, that is, Greenland whales. However, from May to September every year, you can see up to 15 kinds of whales in this sea area, such as humpback whales, fin whales, minke whales and fin whales.

Yang Jing and his team saw a pair of humpback whales in the afternoon.

Humpback whale is a medium-sized whale, which is not a big guy among whales. However, it has a pair of super long front wings and extremely complex calls. Humpback whales are known as "ocean singers". Their calls are extremely complex. Once they call, it is really a yin-yang setback, especially when a pair of humpback whales start singing at the same time, the sound is really like a concerto.

And this kind of big guy also likes to jump out of the water. When they are happy, they jump out of the water. Their posture is extremely vigorous.

Once this kind of whale appears, it must be in pairs. When you see one humpback whale, you can see the other. It is definitely a model of deep love between husband and wife.

On the return trip, Yang Jing and his family were lucky to see a group of about ten narwhals.

This kind of whale with a single horn of more than two meters has a body length of only four or five meters. It is small among whales. However, because of the unique unicorn of the narwhal, it is easy to associate with the legend of the unicorn. Therefore, for centuries, people believe that it has medical effects and even magic.

You know, in the middle ages, when the value of narwhal's Longhorn was the highest, the price of "narwhal's horn" was ten times that of gold of the same weight. It is said that Queen Elizabeth of England once received a long horn of a narwhal worth 10000 pounds, which could buy a castle at that time.

It is precisely because narwhals have such strange long horns that they have been killed almost extinct for a long time.

Like elephant ivory, every man is innocent and bears his sins!

However, it is much better now. Under the strong protection of various countries, this once endangered animal has regained its ethnic prosperity.

Compared with the poor nuke, it is undoubtedly much better to watch whales on the sea. The only pity is that we didn't see the largest northern blue whale today.

However, it was a very enjoyable day. At least Yang Jing and Ge Ge had a very happy time, which is enough.

The next day, Yang Jing and Ge Ge slept until the sun rose three times. It was really three times a day. Nuke, the sun came out at more than three in the morning. Isn't it three poles in the morning at more than seven in the morning?

Lin Dan didn't get up. This guy went back to the boat last night and took down a pair of eye masks. He finally had a good sleep.

Yang Jing and Ge Ge didn't bother him either. Let him sleep more. After breakfast, Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge took their four bodyguards to the katuyak cultural center, and then visited the Nuuk Art Museum and the Greenland National Museum.

It was not until more than four o'clock in the afternoon that Yang Jing received a call from Andre, saying that he would start tonight and let them come back.

The small capital city has been visited almost. The two people rushed back to the wharf, boarded the blue whale and continued to move forward.

The huge blue whale travels in the Davis Strait, with Greenland, the world's largest island, in the East and Baffin Island, Canada, the world's fifth largest island, in the West.

In fact, since crossing the Labrador Sea, the Arctic Archipelago, the world's second largest archipelago, has appeared in the west of this route.

As the second largest archipelago in the world after the Malay Archipelago, the Arctic archipelago is not as fragmented as the Malay Archipelago. The archipelago at the northern end of the North American continent is more famous for its large area of islands. For example, Baffin Island ranks fifth in the world, while Victoria Island in the west of Baffin Island ranks eighth in the world, and Yang Jing's first destination, Ellesmere Island, is the tenth largest island in the world.

This vast archipelago was originally part of the North American continent, but after the end of the Quaternary glacier, the sea level rose, resulting in the separation of these islands from the North American continent, forming a large area of fragmented islands on the sea surface.

The farther north you go, the longer the sun stays in the sky. Especially after crossing the Arctic Circle, the sun in the sky is like an immortal cockroach, hovering above the horizon. Even if it falls below the horizon, it seems that it will reappear in the blink of an eye. The more you go north, the more severe this phenomenon is. This is the famous polar day phenomenon.

At the same time, the farther north, the lower the temperature. Even if it is the hottest summer season of the year in the south, there is still no taste of summer here.

After the blue whale sailed out of Davis Strait into Baffin Bay, ice appeared on the sea.

In fact, the sea area to the north of Baffin Bay, including the Smith Strait, is open to navigation in August and September. There is still ice in this sea area in July.

Fortunately, the sea ice was not thick at this time. The blue whale was an AC1 icebreaker. It was easy to deal with this ice layer only a few centimeters thick. Even if it continued to sail north, it would at most slow down the blue whale.

When the blue whale sails on this route, it is as close to the center of the route as possible. After all, it has entered the Arctic circle. Especially in summer, navigation is a more dangerous thing.

Glaciers falling off from Greenland or Ellesmere will form icebergs that can only be seen a little. Driven by the ocean current, this iceberg called a giant ship killer will continue to swim along the coastline. Once a ship encounters this thing, the end will be very tragic.

It was unfortunate that the famous Titanic met these guys and sank.

Although the blue whale is an icebreaker, it is also far away from such a huge ship killer. Fortunately, the blue whale is a scientific research ship with extremely modern equipment. The iceberg radar on board can find icebergs hidden under the sea level from a long distance, so as to give an alarm and remind the captain to avoid.

After entering the Smith Strait, the ship's speed has decreased from 14.5 knots to 10 knots, and finally to 7 knots.

No way, the ice in Smith Strait is already 20 cm thick, and some rampant icebergs appear from time to time. This strait is too narrow compared with the Davis Strait, which has 300 kilometers at the narrowest place. The widest part of this narrow strait is only more than 100 kilometers, while the narrow part is less than 30 kilometers.

You must be careful when sailing in this strait.
