Chapter 269 Damn, boy, do you dare to fight against me? [Monthly ticket plus update]

No wonder the French writer Jules Verne once described the columnar joints in his eyes in his science fiction novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth": "The nature here has geometric characteristics that seem to have been artificially carved, as if it was created by people with squares, compass and vertical joints. It's like drawing a line..."

Zhang Feng originally wanted to stay a little longer, but at this time the sky was faintly raining again. Looking at the watch, it was already 18:50 and everyone began to feel that their stomachs were protesting. There was another important attraction in the plan [Glacier Lake] Before going there, Mama Cai suggested that everyone go to [Glacier Lake] first and then go back to the accommodation for dinner, and everyone happily agreed.

When the car was still three kilometers away from the "glacial lake", the drop in temperature could already be clearly felt.It began to drizzle outside the window again, and Zhang Feng had to turn up the heating.The moment he stopped the car and stepped out of the car door, a gust of cold air hit his face. Zhang Feng put on his hat and walked towards the lake.

This is the first time that Zhang Feng has seen rivers formed by melting glaciers, and the first time he has seen huge ice floes of various shapes like the sculptures of artists.I started to get excited inside.

"It's a pity, I can only record a video for everyone." Zhang Feng sighed, because at this point, it is naturally when the hardworking people in Huaxia fall asleep, and everyone is replenishing their energy for the next day, to be precise, for "today" work preparation.

Glacier Lake (J?kulsárlón) is the most famous and largest glacial lake in Iceland. It is located in the southeast of Iceland, at the southern end of Vatnajökull.

Vatnajökull, the world's third largest icefield after Antarctic glaciers and Greenland glaciers, covers an area of ​​8420 square kilometers and is about 1500 meters above sea level.Hvannadalshnukur, the highest peak in Iceland with a height of 2110 meters, is located in the southern part of Vatnajökull.Vatnajökull has become a representative of Iceland’s typical scenery in the eyes of tourists.

In September in Iceland, the weather is erratic, the sky is clear on the way, the closer to the glacier, but the clouds begin to cover, and when we reach the Jokulsarlon lake (Jokulsarlon) in front of the glacier, light rain has fallen on the top of the head, and the glacier in the rain is as mysterious as a ghost Unpredictable.The huge ice floes on the lake exude faint blue light, which is cold, cruel and extremely primitive, making people feel awe, as if entering a time tunnel and returning to the distant ice age.

Regrettably, the ice that just melted and collapsed a few days ago has flowed into the sea along the waterway leading to the sea. Now there are only a few super large ice floes, floating alone on the lake. The glacier ice in the distance is like It was enchanted by the sky and stopped.It is said that the Hollywood 007 series of movies "Die Another Day", as well as "Tomb Raider" and "Batman Begins" were filmed here.When Zhang Feng and the others came, the sci-fi film "Oblivion" starring Tom Cruise was also filming in Iceland. I don't know if it will be filmed here again.

Don't think that glaciers must be crystal clear, blue in white.Many ice floes are blue and black. It turns out that under the huge ice cap is a hot heart: lava flows, craters and hot lakes are distributed under the ice, ready to jump out at any time.Just at midnight on March 2010, 3, a volcano near the Eyjafjallajokull glacier, about 20 kilometers southeast of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, suddenly erupted, spewing out a large amount of hot magma and volcanic ash.Melting ice and rising lake levels worry Icelanders more than national bankruptcy, as volcanic eruptions cause widespread melting of the ice cap, triggering floods that will eventually burst through the ice.

This violent gushing made the water carry away everything it encountered in its path: roads, bridges, villages, livestock... a devastating disaster.That volcano erupted a lot of volcanic ash, and the black volcanic ash penetrated into the ice, a bit like melted sesame ice cream poured on the slush ice, which can still be seen a lot until now.

Rafting on Jökulsárón Lake, the largest and most famous glacial lake in Iceland, has always been one of Zhang Feng’s most anticipated projects, and it is also one of the most popular projects for tourists in Iceland, because it is only open from May to September.

There was a long queue at the ticket office, which is extremely rare in Iceland. Zhang Feng, who had a taste of tourism, excitedly said to Mama Cai and Mrs. He: "I'll go to line up to buy tickets first, and you take pictures first and wait for me." .”

"Zhang Feng, wait a minute. Let's discuss whether to take the boat now or come back tomorrow. I think it's very late now. It's better for us to have dinner first." Mama Cai said unhurriedly but extremely firmly.

How angry is Zhang Feng, I really want to leave by myself, but looking at Mr. He and his wife, who are a little older, and Zhang Feng has a good impression of this old couple, so he can only explain: "I'm afraid it's too late to come back tomorrow, right? We I have to go back here from where I live, so it’s not on my way. Since we’ve already arrived here, why don’t we just sit down, I have some chocolate, let’s eat a little each, stick to it.”

"Hey, hey~ Zhang Feng is right, I still have biscuits here." Mrs. He took out biscuits from her backpack while talking.

Zhang Feng was very happy to see Mr. He and his wife who stood firmly on his side. Three couples, a sure-win game. In fact, Zhang Feng was looking for guilt. Do it alone, but at least you have to finish the itinerary for Mr. He and his wife today, and then act alone tomorrow.

"I don't want to eat biscuits. It's so dry. It's so cold here. I want to go back to the place where I'm staying and cook noodles." Mama Cai's son said suddenly.Zhang Feng instantly felt a rush of hot air from the back of his neck, and his temples began to agitate. Zhang Feng was very glad that the temperature outside was very low now. Every time he took a breath, a gust of cool air was suppressing the anger in his chest.

Zhang Feng took a deep breath and said: "The glacial lake is a particularly famous scenic spot in Iceland, and we will see glaciers tens of thousands of years ago in this kind of amphibious boat. This kind of scenery is difficult to see in other places. At most That's one hour, little brother, hold on a little longer." Zhang Feng also imitated the Taiwanese accent.

"I don't want to go on a boat, I want to eat, I'm so hungry." When these words came out of a 22-year-old man's mouth, Zhang Feng wanted to rush up and slap him twice, and then said: "You What are you looking at?"

Zhang Feng didn't believe that he dared to say: "Look at you!"

The inexplicable anger made the atmosphere a bit awkward. Mr. He and his wife hurriedly persuaded him to be kind. Zhang Feng gave Cai Ma's son a very threatening look, as if to say: "You kid, dare to fight against me? Wait a minute Be careful, I will clean you up!"

Cai Ma also saw Zhang Feng's anger, and said again: "Let's discuss it together again."
