Chapter 642 Arriving in Greenland

In order to save space, the stairs on the ship are generally very steep, and the floor height of the room is only two meters, and pipelines, cables, and insulating materials must be laid on the top.

After setting up the bed cabinets, tables and chairs, the room is basically filled.

Bi Fang went through the chair and the wooden table, and sat by the bed. The whole bed was a standard single bed, and it was even narrower.

It is not unreasonable that the bed is narrow. When sailing on the sea, the bed should be narrow enough to fit your body just right.

Experienced sailors will put pillows and blankets on the head of the bed early, so that in case of a storm, they can hold the edge of the bed with both hands and put their feet on the wall at the end of the bed, so as not to be thrown to the ground.

Outside the room, the corridor on the ship barely meets the minimum standard stipulated by international conventions - 0.7 meters.

The two met each other in the hallway, and one of them had to lean sideways against the wall for the other to pass.

As for entertainment, there are few public places other than restaurants.

No wonder the fare is so cheap for a cruise ship.

Bi Fang sighed inwardly, this is the only condition for a fishing boat to be converted into a cruise ship.

If it was before, then the crew would have to stay in such an environment for a full two or three years, and it would be much easier to become a cruise ship, and their income would be relatively stable.

The sea life that most people imagine is a long vacation: eating raw fish, blowing the sea breeze, sunbathing, like being in Hawaii every day.

The first few items are indeed the case, and it is also the biggest selling point of this cruise ship. As a fishing boat modification, part of the fishing function is retained on the cruise ship.

In the Arctic Ocean, there is almost no industrial pollution here. You can catch fresh seafood and eat the best sashimi without any seasoning. It is soft, glutinous and sweet.

Not long after boarding the boat, Bi Fang ushered in an unprecedented bumper harvest—a 120-jin catch.

He has never eaten such delicious arctic shrimp sashimi, which melts in the mouth and tastes sweet and glutinous.

But once you're three meals a day, it's going to last for years.

Thinking about it this way, the captain who decided to refit at the beginning was indeed quite courageous, and when he became a cruise ship, he could only enjoy the beauty.

Bi Fang took out the backpack, took out the two certificates from the innermost interlayer, and looked at them over and over again.

He produced two certificates.

One is a hunting share ration for polar bears, and the other is a hunting license for seals.

This was given to him by the researchers at the Yellow River Station.

Bi Fang recalled that the night before yesterday, the front desk of the hotel suddenly called him, saying that someone was looking for him. At that time, Bi Fang was still curious about who would come to such a remote city to look for him.

It turned out that they were compatriots from the Yellow River Station.

The purpose of coming to him was to send the two permits in front of me.

From a literal point of view, it is very simple, Bi Fang can hunt polar bears and seals, and it is a formal and legal way.

Greenland is also one of the bases of polar bears. Bi Fang is very likely to encounter them. This is a very curious animal, especially in autumn, when it is trying to accumulate fat.

Once a conflict breaks out, no one can predict the outcome.

As for seals, the same is true. A seal may save a life at a critical moment. Whether it is its warm fur or the seal meat full of fat, the heat and help provided are extremely huge.

Do not underestimate the determination of human beings to protect the North and South Poles. Its determination is even shocking.

There is such a regulation in the Antarctic Treaty.

If you haven't obtained a permission to kill a seal before going to Antarctica, can you kill a seal to satisfy your hunger if you are about to starve to death after being killed?

The answer must be beyond everyone's expectations: You can't kill seals to satisfy your hunger.

Incredible?

Yes, anyone would find it incredible.

The laws and regulations have been so detailed, do you still think that human beings’ determination to protect the Antarctic ecology is a child’s play?

If the content feels hollow, like strange advice from a faraway planet, maybe it's because your world hasn't stretched to the ends of the earth.

Of course, that is the Antarctic Treaty, and Bi Fang is going to the North Pole now. Even if the Arctic Treaty is already being formulated, at least there are no such strict regulations at present, and ordinary people are only prohibited from hunting.

Except for Canada, the only ones who can get permission to hunt and kill are various research centers and the local indigenous Inuit.

Hunting polar bears and seals is a means of survival for the Inuit people. It is a link in the natural and normal food chain. Just like polar bears hunting seals, it is justified and no one will stop them. Even so, the annual share is fixed. of.

No matter how the polar bear dies, the quota will be consumed.

This time it was the Yellow River Station, which gave Bi Fang a quota of one polar bear and three seals, which was considered a helping hand.

All in all, a great help.

Bi Fang solemnly put the two certificates in the mezzanine of the backpack. This is a great favor. Although he may not use it, he will keep it in his heart.

Sure enough, you still have to rely on your own people when you go out.

In the next few days, Bi Bian stayed on the boat, getting closer and closer to Greenland.

After the tourists on the boat passed the initial freshness, they regarded Bi Fang's daily live broadcast for several hours as a regular program activity.

Every day when the time is almost up, they will appear on the deck together and listen to Bi Fang explaining the history of humanities and anecdotes about the Arctic explorers of all ages.

Everyone is like going back to the classroom of their teenage years, only this class is more interesting and beautiful.

During the days on the boat, the most profound impact on Bi Fang was probably going to the bathroom.

Walking into the bathroom, the boat swayed, and I couldn't even squat comfortably.

In the end, Bi Fang concluded that when going to the toilet, one should choose a day with calm weather, otherwise constipation is very likely.

After passing through the Fram Strait, the warm current effect of the North Atlantic has been negligible, and the temperature is dropping almost every day, not because it is close to winter, but because of the change in geographical location.

From about zero degrees on Svalbard to minus twenty degrees in the Strait, it has now dropped to minus thirty degrees.

Bi Fang has no doubt that after landing on the island, the temperature will drop below 35 degrees, and by the end of the eternal night, there may be an ultra-low temperature below 60 degrees.

After several days of sailing, this morning, the captain sent a sailor to knock on Bi Fang's door to inform him.

The northernmost tip of Greenland has arrived.

Bi Fang stood up and looked out the dark porthole.

Although it was only the normal morning at this time, the sky was still dark, and there was a deep water-green ribbon in the sky, floating slowly, like dream bubbles.

It's Aurora.

Today is a good day for the arrival of the aurora, and it will be two hours before dawn, but at this time, the silent iceberg in the dark night has ushered in the first touch of natural light, and the whole sky is reflected in an indelible water green.

Looks like a good day to land on the island.
