Chapter 147 The Ice Rock Collapses
Fang Hong kicked hard on the ground and dragged Hua Bo up.

Professor Wang and Qiu Qing also surrounded him: "Are you all right, what's going on?"

After Hua Bo was pulled up, he felt lingering fear: "It was so dangerous, almost, almost died for the country."

The water friend was also stunned by the sudden danger: "What's the situation, I rely on it."

"I'll go, I almost hung up one."

Hua Bo pointed to the place where the ice wall collapsed: "I walked along the ice wall and felt that the ice wall was a little wet, which meant that the temperature on this side was higher than that in this area, so I walked forward against the wall, but accidentally broke it. I hit the ice wall and then slid down, but fortunately my hands were able to grab the ground and Fang Hong came over so I didn't fall."

"The ice wall is broken?" Professor Wang raised his eyes: "Is this ice wall very thin?"

It stands to reason that this ice cave is a cavity baked by water vapor or lava flow. Both sides should be ice walls with a width of more than a kilometer. How could it be broken?

Unless the thickness of the ice wall is less than five centimeters, it is impossible to shatter.

Fang Hong took the flashlight, sat down cross-legged at the gap, picked up the flashlight and shone it out.

Within 300 meters, the super concentrated light beams directly irradiated the crack.

For a split second, Fang Hong's eyes widened.

There is actually a huge hole, and the opposite beam shines on the bluish ice wall. The distance between the opposite ice wall and the crack is at least more than 500 meters, because the beam on the opposite ice wall is very scattered.

It's like, you're sitting in the toilet of the football field, and suddenly the door in front of the toilet opens, and you see directly the auditorium on the opposite side of the football field.

The entire depressive small space becomes an extension of a huge space in an instant.

However, you clearly know that even a football field is a closed environment, but the scope of your sight has suddenly expanded countless times.

"Damn, what is this?"

"It's definitely a continuation of the ice cave."

When the water friends were making a fuss, Professor Wang and others also surrounded him.

Qiu Qing put his hands on Fang Hong's shoulders and squatted down: "It's an ice cave, it should be a natural ice cave."

Hua Bo squatted on the other side: "Five hundred... 17 meters."

Professor Wang and the geologist came over.

The geologist said: "Qiu Qing, give me a seat, you see there is a fart, let me come."

"666, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the professionals are here."

Qiu Qing had no choice but to give up his position: "Old Ma, do you see anything?"

"Bullshit, I haven't even watched it yet." The geologist's name is Ma Fengfeng, and he is an old horse and Fengfeng's.

"Sure enough, it was formed naturally, and it should have been formed by stress collapse."

In layman's terms, it is similar to landslides.

Ma Fengfeng was about to go to the entrance of the cave to investigate, but was stopped by Professor Wang: "The ground is so soft, what are you doing?"

"Go and see what's going on in the cave." Ma Fengfeng responded.

"You fell and fell to your death in a while, come the professionals."

After hearing Professor Wang's words, a group of water friends laughed: "666, my gun brother has also become a professional."

"It's a great sense of accomplishment to be called a professional in front of this group of people."

Fang Hong untied the last bundle of rope that was the only thing he carried, found an ice pick, fastened it, tied it to his body, and threw the rope on the ground: "Hua Bo, step on it."

Hua Bai didn't want to miss the wonderful scene: "Why did I step on it?"

"Because you are heavy." The water friend gave the answer.

Fang Hong smiled: "Because you are stocky."

Hua Bo couldn't complain, and stood on the rope.

The icicles are slippery, so I was afraid that they would slip out in a while, so I asked him to step on them.Fang Hong walked to the entrance of the cave, picked up the flashlight, knelt down on one knee, looked at the bottom of the cave, and then looked at the top of the cave.

The live broadcast screen was also shown.

The bottom of the cave is actually a smooth ice surface, and the roof of the cave is like a vaulted dome, a serious ice dome.

But it's not the sky, it's the dome.

Fang Hong tied the rope buckle to Ma Fengfeng's body: "Let's take a look, I don't think it was formed by a collapse, nor does it seem to be caused by heat."

"Huh?" Ma Fengfeng took the flashlight in doubt, poked into the cave, and looked up, down, left, and right.

"Who will record it."

Professor Wang took out a small notebook and illuminated it with headlights: "It's ready."

"From the top of the cave to the bottom of the cave, the maximum height is 310 meters, the maximum width of the cave is 350 three meters, and the maximum length is 590 seven meters. There are obvious signs of liquid water on the top of the cave."

"The bottom of the cave is a smooth plane, with traces of rock fragments below, and the wall of the cave... 110 meters below our feet, there is volcanic steam escaping, and there is a crack that is suspected to be an ice cave [-] degrees south of the east."

"The bottom of this side is rock mass all the way to the ice surface, and the opposite side is a bare ice wall."

After watching for a while, Ma Fengfeng laughed: "So this ice cave was formed in this way."

Professor Wang raised his head: "New discovery?"

"I should have thought of it earlier, the first time I saw the smooth ice surface, I should have thought of it. The reason for the formation of this ice surface must be the freezing of liquid water. If this is the case, it must be a large-scale volcanic activity. The ice and snow melted, flowed from the ice cave we were in to this huge cave, and then solidified again in it. No wonder scientists from all over the world found nothing after entering. The path of the cave, so they didn't find the cave, lol."

As a geologist, Ma Fengfeng could easily figure out the truth of the matter.

First, there used to be a slope covered by an ice sheet.

During a certain mountain movement, the slope collapsed into a vertical rock wall, filling the bottom of the cave.

During this volcanic activity or the volcanic activity in the following years, this ice cave was melted by steam or magma, and then rolled down into this cave, and then condensed in it to form the ice surface.

And the steam below the mountain has been smoked for many years, making the dome higher and higher, and also thinning the ice wall on this side.

At the same time, the ground fissure steam in this ice cave also thinned the inner side of the ice wall. In the end, this ice wall became thinner and thinner, and Huabo accidentally knocked it down.

That is to say, during a volcanic activity, a U-shaped cave was formed here, and in the following endless years, the U-shaped cave gradually changed into an H-shaped.

Ma Fengfeng was excited: "Standing here, I can imagine the picture of this huge cave formed by the collapse of huge ice and boulders. But the specific year needs to be tested by instruments to compare it."

Erebus Volcano has been in a continuous evolution process since its birth to the present. The basalt and other rocks formed by the ejected magma are getting higher and higher in quality. The upper limit of its age can be barely judged from the texture, and from the ice layer data. A lower limit of age can be barely judged.

Combining the two, we can determine the approximate age of this geological change.

Professor Wang: "It was a worthwhile trip, this is a new discovery."

Professor Wang is very excited about this discovery. Foreign scientists have carried out scientific research on Antarctica for hundreds of years, and it has been very difficult for China to catch up in the past few decades.And every new discovery represents the possibility of an academic breakthrough, and also represents that another scientific research of China is ahead of the world.

However, there are two scientific research stations nearby, one in the United States and one in New Zealand, and they should also get involved.

Professor Wang looked around: "Let's retreat to the periphery first, wait for the delivery of equipment and instruments, and come to the field survey tomorrow."

Beside him, Ma Fengfeng was also communicating with Hua Bai.

The current scientific research station in New Zealand is actually empty.

In other words, Lao Mei was lucky enough to catch up.But they are permanently stationed with meteorologists, not geologists.

If other countries want to rush over, they can only come by sea by boat. When they come, all the flowers will wither.

If Lao Mei's plane has not stopped at the South Pole station, they will not be able to catch up with tomorrow's survey.

It is very likely to be an exclusive opportunity for scientific research results.
