Jack is a good tour guide, and the price of 1,000 Danish kroner a day is worthy of his hard work this day.

Under his leadership, Yang Jing and his friends visited the Greenland University, which they thought was shabby at first. By visiting this university, Yang Jing and Gege realized that the university looked very miniature on the surface, but it was very informative inside.

Whether it is the faculty or the library collection, Greenland University is very good, at least much better than expected.

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

"There is no way. Nuuk is so big, and the terrain is constantly undulating. It is not easy to find a place suitable for building an airport. However, although our airport is the capital airport, there are not many aircraft that can take off and land every year, and most of them are spirals. Those types of jet passenger planes cannot take off and land on this runway with a length of only 950 meters. The noise of propeller planes is relatively less...."

This is so reasonable.

But then again, Yang Jing has never seen such a shabby capital airport. Although Nuuk is the smallest capital of a country in the world, you are also the capital of a country. As one of the external front office projects, you can at least build your own capital airport better. Many airports in third- and fourth-tier cities in China are better than this airport...

And what the hell is the golf course between Greenland University and the airport? If Jack hadn't repeatedly insisted that this was the only golf course in Gotthob, Yang Jing and Gege could have barely identified some greens, and they really couldn't believe that this place was actually a golf course.

The golf courses in other places are either green and picturesque or green grass. Even if Yang Jing and Ge saw the golf club course on the Yulong Snow Mountain a few days ago, although the altitude is more than 3,000 meters, there are still green grass and snowy mountains. The scenery is as beautiful as a painting.

But what the hell is this? Are the turfs on the high courts covered with cold moss? It seems that the turfs on the public football stadiums in many small cities in China are one hundred times stronger than here!

Too shabby, is there any...

Finally, after seeing the world's most shabby capital airport, the most mini capital university, the most football stadium and the high court that looks like a football stadium..., Yang Jing and Princess finally no longer have the heart to go shopping.

But then again, this is definitely a very wonderful experience. If it weren’t for seeing it with your own eyes and no matter what others say, they wouldn’t believe that a country with a per capita GDP of five times that of China would be so shabby.

Absolutely experienced!

Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. My ancestors really don’t bully me!

However, the lunch at noon made several people smile.

Compared to the seafood meal I had three days ago in St. Johns, the seafood meal here is undoubtedly better.

Many seafood from the cold sea areas of the Labrador Sea or Baffin Bay made Yang Jing and the others enjoy a lot of fun. The precious Arctic ginseng, delicious Arctic shrimp, and queen crabs that are about the same size as the lid after being spread out. These seafood that are hard to see outside are so many here, so you can eat them as much as you want, and the price is not expensive.

Therefore, two foodies from China and five more foodies from San Francisco, USA, really had a lot of fun eating.

After lunch and a little rest, the group took a yacht to sea to watch whales under Jack's leadership.

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

If you come to Nuuk to watch whales in winter, you can only see three types of whales, narwhal, beluga whales and bowhead whales, which are Greenland whales. However, between May and September each year, up to fifteen types of whales can be seen in this sea area, such as humpback whales, fin whales, minke whales, fin whales, fin whales, fin whales and other whales.

Yang Jing and the others successfully saw a pair of humpback whales in the afternoon.

Humpback whales are medium-sized whales, not considered big among whales. However, they have a pair of super long forewings and extremely complex calls. Humpback whales are known as "ocean singers". Their calls are extremely complex. Once they scream, they really make a yin and yang jerk, especially when a pair of humpback whales start to sing at the same time, the sound is really like a concerto.

Moreover, these big guys also like to jump out of the water. When they are happy, they are extremely agile.

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

On the way back, Yang Jing and the others were lucky enough to see a group of narwhals about ten.

This whale, which has a horn of more than two meters long, is only four or five meters long, and is considered a small one among whales. However, because the unique horns of the narwhal make people easily remind you of the legend of unicorns, it has been believed for centuries that it has medical effects and even magical powers.

You should know that in the Middle Ages where the long horns of narwhals were the highest value, the price of "narwhal horns" was ten times that of gold of the same weight. Legend has it that Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom once received a narwhal horn worth 10,000 pounds. The amount could be bought at that time.

It is precisely because narwhals have such strange long horns that for a long time, these whales were almost extinct.

Like the ivory of an elephant, every man is guilty of being guilty of being a treasure!

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

Compared to the shabby Nuuk, watching whales on the sea is undoubtedly much better. The only shame is that today I didn’t see the largest northern blue whale when I went to sea to watch whales.

However, I had a great time playing this day. At least Yang Jing and Gege were particularly happy, which was enough.

The next day, Yang Jing and Princess slept until the sun was noon, and it was really the sun was noon. Nuuk came out at around 3 am. At around 7 am, isn’t it the sun was noon?

Lin Dan did not get up. The guy returned to the boat last night and took a pair of blindfolds and finally got a good night's sleep.

Yang Jing and Princess did not disturb him and asked him to sleep for a while. After breakfast, Princess and Princess took four bodyguards to the Katuak Cultural Center, and then visited the Nuuk Art Museum and the Greenland National Museum.

It was not until after four o'clock in the afternoon that Yang Jing received a call from Andrei, saying that he would set off tonight and ask them to come back.

The small capital city had almost been around, so the two rushed back to the dock and boarded the Blue Whale to continue moving forward.

The huge Blue Whale is sailing in the Davis Strait. To the east is Greenland, the world's largest island, and to the west is Baffin Island, Canada's fifth largest island.

In fact, since passing through the Labrador Sea, the world's second largest archipelago, the Arctic Islands, has appeared on the west side of this route.

As the second largest archipelago in the world after the Malay Islands, the Arctic Islands are not as fragmented as the Malay Islands. The archipelago at the northern end of the North American continent is more famous for its large-scale islands. For example, Baffin Island ranks fifth in the world, while Victoria Island west of Baffin Island is the eighth island in the world, and Yang Jing and his first destination for this voyage, Elsmere 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 glaciers, sea levels 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 more you go north, the longer the sun stays in the sky, especially after crossing the Arctic Circle, the sun in the sky is like an indestructible little hero, swaying on the horizon. Even if it lands below the horizon, it seems that it will reveal its head again in the blink of an eye. The more you go north, the more you become, the more severe this phenomenon is, which is the famous extreme day phenomenon.

At the same time, the higher you go north, the lower the temperature. Even though it is the hottest summer season of the year in the south, you still can't see the smell of summer here.

After the Blue Whale drove out of Davis Strait and entered Baffin Bay, there was ice on the sea surface.

In fact, the seas north of Baffin Bay, including the Smith Strait that is about to pass, are open to navigation in August and September, and this sea area in July is still frozen.

Fortunately, the sea surface was not thick during this period. The Blue Whale is an AC1-class icebreaker. It is easy to deal with this ice layer that is only a few centimeters thick. Even if it continues to sail north, it will only slow down the Blue Whale at most.

When sailing on this route, the Blue Whale tried to get close to the center of the route as much as possible. After all, it has entered the Arctic Circle, especially in summer, sailing is a relatively dangerous thing.

Whether it is the falling glaciers from Greenland or Elsmere Island, icebergs that can only be seen a little bit will form. Driven by ocean currents, this iceberg, which is a giant ship killer, will continue to swim along the coastline. Once a ship encounters this thing, the outcome will be very tragic.

The famous Titanic unfortunately encountered these big guys and then sank.

Although the Blue Whale is an icebreaker, it also stays away from such a giant ship killer. Fortunately, the Blue Whale is a scientific research ship with extremely modern equipment. The iceberg radar on the ship can discover icebergs hidden below the sea level at a long distance, thus issuing an alarm to remind the captain to avoid it.

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

There is no way, the freezing in the Smith Strait is already twenty centimeters thick, and some icebergs that rush around appear from time to time. Compared to the narrowest part of this strait, which is 300 kilometers, it is simply too narrow. The widest part of this narrow strait is only more than one hundred kilometers, while the narrow part is less than 30 kilometers.
