Bi Fang walked out of the cabin, exhaled a mouthful of cold mist, and shivered all over.
Suddenly from midsummer to the depths of winter, no matter how strong your physique is, you will feel the biting cold.
At this time, Bifang had already put on his assault jacket.
This is not Greenland yet, but Longyearbyen in Svalbard.
At 78 degrees 13 minutes north latitude, it is the northernmost city in the world.
There are about 1,800 residents here, the majority of whom are Norwegians. It is the northernmost city with a large population in the world.
There is also a newspaper in the city - "Svalbard Post", which is the northernmost post office in the world.
This is actually quite close to the northernmost tip of Greenland where Bifang wants to go, with only the Greenland Sea in between.
If you take a ship and pass through the Fram Strait, it only takes a few hundred nautical miles and can be reached in less than two days.
In fact, Bi Fang could have taken a direct flight, but he still chose to go to Svalbard first, and then take a cruise to Greenland.
First, I want to see the beautiful Svalbard Islands.
The scope of the North Pole is very wide, and it can refer to the vicinity of the Arctic Circle and the North Pole at 90° north latitude.
When you come here as a traveler, of course you have to go to Svalbard, the hometown of polar bears. It is very cold here, but not too cold. A thick down jacket is enough.
Here you can see the Aurora during the day, as well as free polar bears, Greenland whales, and houses located in the snowfields.
There are no high-rise buildings. As a tourist destination, it is not as crowded and peaceful as other places.
The reason why I didn’t come here after I was born...
Bi Fang suspected that after a hundred days, given his condition, he would have no interest in traveling at all, so he might as well leave a good memory for himself first.
The second is to give your body an adaptation period.
Going from a high temperature area of more than 30 degrees to a low temperature area of minus 30 to 40 degrees, a temperature difference of more than 60 degrees is a severe test for the body.
Bi Fang didn't want to fall ill as soon as he got off the plane, so he just passed through Svalbard as a buffer. One day of sightseeing and two days of cruise were enough.
I took out my mobile phone and checked the temperature that day. It was minus three degrees.
Walking in the airport, you can even see young and beautiful girls showing their smooth ankles.
I hope they will not have rheumatism and arthritis when they are in their thirties or forties, Bi Fang sent his best wishes.
In coastal areas, the humidity is high and the temperature is low. Cold air can easily invade the body and cause considerable damage.
"Everyone should keep warm in winter." Bi Fang specifically warned the audience in the live broadcast room.
As soon as he got off the plane, Bi Fang started the live broadcast, also wanting the audience to enjoy the natural scenery together.
Perhaps because the North Pole is too attractive, it didn’t take long for hundreds of thousands of viewers to gather in the live broadcast room.
Speaking of which, I have been traveling these days, but the audience in the live broadcast room is really addicted, and they watch the live broadcast almost every day.
No, just two days after returning from Yangguo, it started broadcasting again. It is still a completely different scene from the sunny beaches of Yangguo.
It's like going from summer to winter all of a sudden.
Everyone's clothes became bloated, especially for most of the audience who were still in the middle of summer. This feeling was very strange, as if they had entered a fairy tale world.
When Bi Fang walked out of the airport in Longyearbyen, the capital of Svalbard, he saw an eye-catching "Instructions for Tourists" at a glance.
It is densely packed with prohibitions written all over it.
You are not allowed to litter here, you are not allowed to kill or disturb birds and animals, you are not allowed to plant trees, you are not allowed to pick flowers, and you are not allowed to destroy cultural relics...
[Damn, this is too strict, isn’t it?]
[This is not strict.
.What should civilized tourists do?】
So in the audience’s impression, as a tourist city, shouldn’t there be a welcome slogan?
The result is that I can't do this or that, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
Bi Fang smiled and did not respond. Instead, he told a story.
“On June 17, 1596, a Dutch sailing expedition saw an island almost covered with ice and snow on the endless sea.
Steep mountain peaks towering above the white snow.
At that moment, the entire sailing team was almost crazy. This is definitely a new continent, a new continent that has never been discovered. And this is the first time Svalbard faces the world."
"That adventurer is the Dutch explorer William Barentsz."
"At that time, William discovered a large number of Greenland whales in nearby waters. Since then, a three-hundred-year history of European countries' plundering of whale resources in this borderless land began."
"Since then, more and more adventurers have arrived here. Especially after the discovery of local rich mineral resources, it has attracted more avid adventurers."
The audience had some vague guesses about the next story.
Bi Fang sighed and chatted while walking on the road.
"The universe is vast, and humans have never stopped exploring.
Because of the special geographical locations of the Arctic, Antarctic and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, people have always wanted to step into that special land.
As the closest inhabitable area to the Arctic, the Svarna Islands undoubtedly provide living conditions for exploring the Arctic."
"In the museum here, there is a copper engraving created in 1791, which truly reproduces the scene at that time."
Bi Fang followed the travel guide and saw this copper engraving.
On the sea, dozens of fishing boats floated, and the whalers held harpoons and stabbed the whales that sprayed huge water jets; on the shore, the hunters held rifles and shot at polar bears and seals.
The gifts of nature appear extremely fragile under people's greed.
All of this has caused a large number of local species to decline, and some species are even on the verge of extinction.
It was not until the signing of the Treaty of Svalbard, confirming that the sovereignty here belonged to Norway, that a relatively complete ecological protection law was gradually established locally, and the environment was gradually protected.
It is easy to destroy, but extremely difficult to restore.
And it is not possible to restore Svalbard to its original state by one person. It requires the joint efforts of everyone who comes here.
This almost stringent "environmental protection regulations" is one of the efforts, and the awareness of tourists, residents, and scientific researchers is a major driving force for environmental change.
Since then, the environment on the islands has gradually been effectively protected.
Only in this way will Bi Fang see a ban as soon as he goes out, instead of a welcome.
"But there is actually good news for us Chinese tourists."
Bi Fang rolled up the travel guide and explained, "On February 9, 1920, one of the countries that signed this treaty was China. In other words, China has the right to develop this land."
"We can conduct any non-military activities on this land, and citizens can freely enter and leave Svalbard."
"The only problem is, are there only Oslo and Troms in Norway? There are flights from SAS and Norwegian Air, so you still need to apply for a Schengen visa."
