The four experienced ladies set up the camera tripod, adjusted the camera parameters, and started shooting at a cloud band in the sky that looked nothing special to the naked eye. As a result, the green and purple Northern Lights came out.
It turns out that the aurora cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye, but high-end cameras can capture it. No wonder so many people come to see the northern lights during the season. It turns out that this is how they are seen.
So everyone followed suit, using wide-angle lenses with large apertures and slow exposures to shoot. As a result, everyone with high-end cameras was able to capture the Northern Lights as they wished.
Although the Northern Lights were not bright in color or elegant in shape that night, they appeared and disappeared, and it was not fun to wait in the sub-zero cold wind, but God rewarded those who worked hard, and after all, they were photographed, and everyone was still overjoyed when they saw it.
The ban, at least it was not in vain, it was a rare life experience!
The Northern Lights is an astronomical wonder of nature, graceful and mysterious. Only on cold autumn and winter nights in high latitudes, when the weather is clear and dry, can you bet on its magical and magnificent appearance. This is a rare event.
Opportunity, everything depends on luck.
In ancient Roman mythology, Aurora, the goddess of the weaver, was in charge of the Northern Lights. She used her beautiful aurora to constantly guide the future direction of people who longed for happiness and beauty.
If you can make a beautiful wish that you have longed for all your life under the gorgeous aurora, then this wish can come true.
From September every year to April of the following year, the Northern Lights will appear from time to time, swaying in various colors such as green, yellow, purple, orange, red, blue, etc., changing endless shapes, flashing, elegant and rippling, and sometimes the Northern Lights are like a festival.
The fireworks disappear in an instant, and sometimes they hang high in the sky and shine for hours.
Alaska in the United States and Yukon in Canada are the best places in the world to watch the Northern Lights. In order to see the mysterious phantom of the Northern Lights and wish for a beautiful wish, many people make a special trip to these places regardless of the distance and cold weather.
Northern lights.
The Yukon Territory is located in the northwest border of Canada, adjacent to Alaska in the United States. One-tenth of the territory is located within the Arctic Circle. It is a land of freezing temperatures, ice and snow. It is known for its magnificent natural scenery, numerous wild animals and gorgeous wildlife.
The Northern Lights are listed among the 100 most beautiful holiday paradises in the world.
After seeing the Northern Lights, Han Peacock and his group entered the uninhabited polar regions, where dead trees, grass, Gobi, ice and snow, and cold winds have become the norm.
At this time, neither Han Kongque nor Huangshan and the others had any intention of looking at the scenery anymore.
"Do you have to search in such a cold place?" Huangshan asked while jumping around to increase body heat.
They have been wandering in the wasteland for half a month. Although they have rich supplies, it is too cold here.
"That's right! As long as there is permafrost, mammoth fossils can be preserved, right?" Jin Yao also said.
After finding nothing for a long time, Jin Yao also became suspicious. The area here is too large. Looking for fossils buried underground in such a large wasteland is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Before Han Kongque opened his mouth, Mu Ling said: "If it is a place where everyone can go, if it can be found easily, even if there are mammoth fossils, can they be left for us?"
"That's not what you're saying. The boss's spiritual sense can detect a radius of several hundred meters. Can others?" Mu Ling said unconvinced.
After a moment of silence, Jin Yao said: "This place is too big."
Everyone fell silent. Indeed, the area was too big, and the 400-meter radius of Han Peacock seemed too small.
"Don't be discouraged. Since people have found fossils here, they must be there. The reason why we haven't found them is because we haven't found a suitable place yet. As long as we find one, the rest will be easy." Han Peacock said.
"Is it difficult? Those who find fossils should rely on luck." Jin Yao said.
Mu Ling said: "Then let's try our luck."
"This is too difficult. I think it's better to add more manpower. Only the boss can look for it. How long will it take to find it?" Huang Shan said.
"Yes, I think Bai Xiaoyi and the others should work harder. I really don't believe it. As long as we know where others are looking, we can still find them?" Jin Yao said with a smile.
The place where others have found mammoth tusks must be a good place. If Korean peacocks go there, they will definitely gain something soon.
"How can we leave ivory in a place where others have found it? Stop dreaming." Wood Spirit struck him.
"Other than the boss, who can find the mammoth fossils buried underground like cheating?" Huang Shan said.
Han Kongque said at this time: "The earth spirit can still escape! Can't he also find the mammoth fossils hidden underground? If there is one earth spirit, can't there be three or five?"
"So, such a harsh environment can only block the prying eyes of some people, such as you, what if you have some ability? If no one forces you, none of you will come here, so as long as there are mammoth fossils here,
We will definitely find him." Mu Ling said with a smile.
"Maybe it's rotten, so how can I find it? I know this is permafrost, but in ancient times, this was not permafrost." Huangshan finally became literate for once, and he got to the point.
Han Kongque said: "The formation of fossils is accidental. The reason why the mammoth fossils here and in Siberia are so famous is entirely because there is a greater chance of retaining a large number of mammoth fossils. Therefore, for mammoths
I'm not worried at all whether the elephant fossils can be stored."
"Also, mammoth fossils are not difficult to find. After all, they are big creatures. Even if they are partially rotten, they can be easily found." Bing Ning suddenly said.
"Huh?" Han Peacock turned his head and looked at this quiet girl with no sense of presence. She actually spoke. Could it be that she had discovered something?
With a thought in Han Kongque's mind, the attention that had been diverted by Huangshan and the others was focused on the ground again.
"Over there, I feel that there is a foreign object in the frozen soil underground, and it is not small." Sure enough, the girl Bing Ning has discovered something.
Han Peacock's spiritual consciousness immediately spread over there. There was really a huge creature there, and they were very lucky. Han Peacock just paid a little attention and described a portrait of a huge creature in his brain.
Mammoth, an ancient vertebrate, whose scientific name is true mammoth, also known as woolly mammoth, lived about 11,000 years ago.
Mammoth, which means "underground dweller" in Tatar, was once the largest elephant in the world.
A mature mammoth is 5 meters long and about 3 meters tall, similar to an Asian elephant. Its incisors are about 1.5 meters long.
It is difficult for Han Peacock to admit his mistake with such an image, especially the long and curved ivory that is eye-catching.
Mammoth ivory, also called ancient ivory, is very similar to modern ivory, except that its tusks are long and curved upward.
With such obvious features, Han Kongque recognized it at a glance, but then he fell into deep thought again.
This mammoth was too completely preserved. Just now they talked about the problem that mammoths would rot after death, but the mammoth they discovered immediately was just the opposite. Not only did it not rot, but it was also very well preserved.
"What's wrong?" Mu Ling was more attentive. She first noticed something strange about Han Peacock.
Han Peacock came back to his senses and said: "Get ready to dig it out. Be careful. I saw that this mammoth is actually very well preserved. Let's forget it. Let's wait until professional equipment has been transported for excavation."
"I'll record the coordinates." Mu Ling said immediately.
Han Peacock nodded. You cannot excavate the well-preserved mammoth fossils casually. There may still be active cells inside. After all, this is permafrost, and you can have anything.
If there are really active cells, then the research value will be great. If you dig them out now and destroy the cells of this mammoth, it will be worth the loss.
"How can it be preserved completely? It's good if it doesn't rot, right?" Huangshan asked strangely at this time.
Han Peacock thought for a moment and said: "Unlike modern elephants, ancient mammoths did not live in the tropics or subtropics, but were an ancient mammal that lived in the cold climate of the north.
Scientists believe that the mammoths on Earth died during a sudden ice age, which caused their bodies to be frozen immediately after death, so they did not have time to decompose in the future. And because they were protected and buried by ice and snow in the burrows for thousands of years, they were completely preserved.
Come down.
Fossils of mammoths have also been discovered in Northeast my country, Qilu, Neigu, Ningxia and other regions, and complete individuals with skin and flesh have been found in the permafrost of northern Siberia and the Alaska Peninsula in the Soviet Union, so Siberia is And the mammoth tusks are the best in Alaska’s permafrost.”
This mammoth that Han Peacock and the others found was not the first. Based on the experience of previous people, Han Peacock quickly guessed the reason.
Up to now, the utilization rate of mammoth ivory has been very high.
Since mammoth tusks have been excavated in large quantities in the permafrost of Siberia and the Yukon River region in recent years, people have quickly discovered that high-quality mammoth tusks are comparable to ivory. However, relevant United Nations organizations do not prohibit the use of mammoth ivory for processing trade.
As a result, the ivory carving industry also obtained new valuable raw materials.
Currently, taking the ivory craft factory in Yangcheng as an example, the processing and production of mammoth fossil ivory accounts for 30% of its ivory carving business.
Mammoths live in groups on the Siberian Plateau. At least 10,000 years ago, they were either buried alive due to changes in the earth's crust, or suddenly encountered a cold wave and were permanently frozen. As a result, some mammoths had their tusks turned into fossils or semi-fossils.
Some are even preserved intact.
Of course, there are only a few that are so well preserved. After all, mammoth tusks are the remains of prehistoric creatures. Most of the mammoth tusks can no longer be used for carving. The yield is only about 20, and intact mammoth tusks are even rarer.
, making mammoth ivory products more valuable. To be continued
