1445. Floating Ilulissat Icefjord

Qin Shiou told a small lie that he had seen it in the Ship Museum.

The owner of the ship suddenly realized and nodded, "Yes, it is rare now. My ship is still left to me by my father. It is no longer suitable for whaling, so I use it to carry out tourism."

Black Dao and others' expressions were more cautious. Such an old ship can even be smashed into pieces of iceberg, right?

In fact, they were just wrong. After the wooden boat drove out, it headed directly to the nearest iceberg. The owner introduced to them: "Chat Pas was born to catch whales, so the bottom of the boat is narrow, which is to reduce resistance and create faster speeds. Therefore, we can get closer to the iceberg better without worrying about accidents when the bottom of the boat touches the underwater iceberg part."

The iceberg the ship owner looked for looked very strong and was a whole piece of ice. There is no need to worry that ice will fall down and hit the boat or fall into the water to produce big waves.

After getting closer, Qin Shiou looked up at the iceberg that was 200 meters high and exclaimed: "My God Dad, this iceberg is so big that it is exposed to the water. How big is it underwater?"

The density of ice is about 9g/cubic meter, while the density of seawater is about 1025kg/cubic meter. According to Archimedes' law, about 90% of the freely floating icebergs are submerged under the surface of seawater.

Therefore, looking at the shape floating on the water, you can't guess the shape underwater, scale, the word "Tip of the Iceberg" is not fabricated.

What fishermen and sailors in the North Atlantic are most afraid of is to encounter icebergs, which are even more terrible than storms. The iceberg is very strong. In addition, the strength of the metal is reduced in low temperature environments. Once the two sides meet, the ship will basically sink into the iceberg.

The underwater parts of the iceberg are so large that when they are discovered, even if the ship turns, it will not have time to escape from the sea it can affect.

However, the old sailors in the North Atlantic have the trick to distinguish the size and basic shape of the underwater part of the iceberg. When they saw the iceberg, the owner said: "This iceberg is soft, not a rushing type, otherwise even if you drive a chaluo, you will not be able to get close to it."

Qin Shiou released the consciousness of the sea god, and then saw the full picture of the iceberg.

The whole picture of the iceberg is terrifying. Only a piece of ice is exposed on the sea, but a mountain is under the water. No wonder it is called an iceberg!

In addition, as the ship owner said, this iceberg is soft. Although it is large, its shape is relatively standard. The iceberg underwater is an ordinary irregular inverted triangular column, so that its curves are smooth and the boat will not touch it.

Some icebergs have rugged rocks underwater, just like their own reefs. Maybe they will hit the boat. This is a violent iceberg.

Chalu Pas continued to march on the sea, and the owner smiled and asked, "Do you like to eat fish? If you like, I can invite you."

Qin Shiou said: "Aren't we in a hurry? How can we fish like that?"

The owner of the boat shrugged and said, "No need to fish. My brother, there is no need to get off the fishing rod. Soon, come on, look at the ice floes, let's go fishing, there are no tools to catch fish here."

The boat was flexibly traveling between the ice reservoirs. Soon the owner of the ship looked happy and approached a round table-sized ice floe. He pointed his hand at the ice cube. He smiled and said, "Look, we have caught the fish."

Qin Shiou followed his instructions and found that some traces of fish were indeed exposed on the ice. The fish had long and flat body. Its mouth was very round, its eyes were very large, its gills were thin and pointed, its back was purple-brown, its sides were lighter, and there were small black spots close to the fish's head, which looked good.

The owner looked at it and found a fishing net from the stern of the boat and threw it out, saying, "This kind of fish tastes very good, so use it to make lunch for you."

"Arctic fennel is indeed delicious and nutritious." Qin Shiou nodded.

The ship owner was a little surprised and said, "You are so amazing. You not only know Cha Lu Pas, but also Arctic Fennel. It seems that you have done a good homework for this trip to Greenland. Then I guess you must be very good when you were in school."

Hearing his praise, Winnie said with joy, "You guessed it wrong, Mr. Captain, in fact, my husband is a poor student, but he is an excellent fishing owner and has a thorough research on fishing boats and various types of fish and shrimp."

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Dear, are you praising me?"

Winnie patted his cheek and smiled, "Of course, I'm your wife, of course I'm praising you."

The ice floes were very smooth, and the fishing nets that were thrown out could not catch it. The owner of the ship took out his thick diving suit and said, "Okay guys, we have lunch, I'm going to go down and bring them up. You can try the ice sea floating."

Black Knife asked, "The sea of ​​ice is floating? What does it mean?"

The boat owner smiled and took off his coat, quickly changed into a thick diving suit, and then fell into the water, lying on the water with his head upwards. The diving suit was very thick and filled with air, so it was very buoyant, just like a small boat on a person.

Qin Shiou was moved and asked, "It won't be cold, right?"

Without the owner's answer, the little doorman had already said: "Of course it's not cold. The sea water is much warmer than the air. You can try it. It's quite fun. There are not many games that we can play here, so if you don't want to come in vain, then just entertain yourself."

Qin Shiou felt that what the little guy said made sense, so he changed it and lay on his back and fell into the water.

As the little doorman said, it is not cold at all when soaked in water. The sea water temperature is around zero degrees Celsius, which is more than ten degrees Celsius higher than the air. After adapting to the cold air, I really feel that this situation is warmer.

Heidao and others understood this idea and got off the boat, but there was no chance. Winnie handed her daughter to him and said, "Look at our little princess, don't you want to play on the water?"

Black Dao looked at Winnie helplessly and muttered, "Oh, yes, we don't want to play on the water, but we want to play underwater."

bbshuang said, "It's not 'we', man, it's 'you'. Goodbye, I'm going to go down too."

As he said that, he took off his coat and got into a thick diving suit, jumped into the water immediately. The osprey and the trigger did not speak, and quickly changed into the clothes, jumped into the water before waved to the black knife.

The angry bag ran a little slower, and Black Knife grabbed him and said angrily: "You are not loyal! Do you want to go down too? No, accompany me, let's watch the little princess together."

The little girl hung her on the chest of Black Knife and looked around with her big eyes. Only these big eyes were exposed all over her body. She hung on the chest of Black Knife, which made the angered bag laugh: "Boss, you seem to be wearing an explosive bag."

"I made a fuck! I was so happy to laugh?" Black Dao said dissatisfiedly, "That's great, come here and hang it up for you!" (To be continued.)
