After leaving St. Johns, the Blue Whale plunged into the blue Labrador Sea and continued to head north.

When you arrive in this sea area, the temperature is quite suitable during the day, and the maximum temperature can rise to about 30 degrees in the afternoon, but once the sun starts to tilt west, the temperature will drop quickly. At night, the temperature in the Labrador Sea can reach about ten degrees. Even in the ocean, the temperature difference is very large.

The Labrador cold current originating from the Bay of Baffin further north will inevitably flow through this sea area before entering the Atlantic Ocean south. The existence of the cold current will make the temperature here much lower than the sea area in the south.

The main reason for the formation of the Newfoundland fishing ground where the Blue Whale just passed is the intersection of the Labrador cold current and the Mexican warm current.

According to Captain Andre's navigation plan, after departing from Boston, the Blue Whale would provide freshwater supply in Nuuk, the largest port city in southwestern Greenland, and then directly enter the Arctic Ocean. Although it took a half-day delay in St. Johns last night, it was nothing for such long-distance voyages.

For example, when the Blue Whale went to Antarctica for scientific research, it often waited for a long time in the port of Argentina due to the sudden change in the Antarctic waters. Although I stayed in St. Johns for a long time this time, it was because the employer invited a seafood meal. It doesn’t matter if the crew would rather come here a few more times. Who cares about delaying the time for half a day?

The distance from St. Johns to Nuuk is about 1,160 nautical miles. At the speed of the Blue Whale, it takes about eighty hours to drive.

After floating on the sea for three and a half days, the Blue Whale finally approached Nuuk in the southwest of Greenland.

Even though it has entered midsummer, the temperature in Nuuk is still quite low. The maximum temperature here is only about twenty degrees during the day, and the temperature at night will drop to around zero degrees.

Nuuk is the largest city and the largest port in Greenland. Of course, this city is also the capital of Greenland. However, even if this city is the largest city in Greenland, the permanent population of this city is only about 17,000, which is similar to an ordinary town in China...

Although Nuuk is close to the Arctic Circle, Nuuk Port, deep in the exit of the Gothob Strait, has few days of freezing in a year. Therefore, it has become the largest city in Greenland.

There are no agricultural crops around Nuuk, and it is not suitable for agricultural development, but fishery is the pillar industry here. Most of the fishing boats come and go in the port.

The Blue Whale is very big. In Nuuk Port, it is a ship like the giant. Moreover, Nuuk Port only has one 10,000-ton berth, and it is still at the outer dock, so the Blue Whale can only dock on that dock.

The Blue Whale will dock in Nuuk Harbor for two days. In addition to freshwater supply, it is more important to allow the crew to completely relax before entering the Arctic Ocean.

The Blue Whale is a scientific research ship. It is not like an ocean freighter who will only dock when it reaches its destination when it goes to sea. In order to take care of the scientific research personnel on the ship, the scientific research ship often creates conditions to get ashore as much as possible. If there is no conditions to get ashore, there is no way, but as long as it can get ashore, it will basically dock.

Nuuk Port is still far from the Arctic Ocean. Unfortunately, there is no port for Blue Whale to dock further north. This is the last port that Blue Whale can dock before entering the Arctic Ocean.

After staying on the boat for almost four days, Yang Jing and Ge felt the earth shaking when they got off the boat.

This is a natural reaction. If you stay on the boat for a long time, you will be beaten up just after getting off the boat. It is like staying in high altitude areas (above 4,000 altitudes). Once you go to a low altitude areas (above 100 altitudes), then you will easily suffer from intoxication...

After a little accustomed to it, the feeling of shaking everywhere slowly disappeared.

The princess sighed and directly expressed Yang Jing's voice - it's better for Mother Earth!

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Yang Jing and his friends arrived at Nuuk Port, but the sky here was still bright and the sun had not set yet. The sun would not set until around 10:30 in the evening, and then by around 3:00 in the morning, the sky here would light up again, and the sun would rise at around 3:30 in the morning.

After getting off the boat, I came to the booked hotel, and after having a big meal with local characteristics, Yang Jing and the others took a break.

As a result, when he fell asleep, Yang Jing felt that it was already bright outside. He woke up the princess in a daze, "Dear, it's dawn outside, don't sleep..."

The princess also rubbed her eyes in a daze and looked at the window. The curtains were not enough to completely block the sunlight, so it was really dawn outside?

The princess touched her phone and looked at the time. She angrily beat Yang Jing twice, "You idiot, here is close to the Arctic Circle, and the sun will come out at around three in the morning!"

The confused Yang Jing realized that he had made a big mistake. He grabbed the watch placed on the bedside table and looked at it. Sure enough, it was only 3:30 in the morning!

I didn't say anything, keep lying down and sleeping!

I slept until after seven in the morning before I woke up. When they walked out of the room and prepared to have dinner, they saw Lin Dan sitting in the restaurant with two dark circles on his face.

Yang Jing leaned forward and poked the guy, "What's wrong? I couldn't help but make a big sword last night?"

Lin Dan rolled his eyes helplessly, "I couldn't sleep at around three in the morning. Damn the extreme daylight phenomenon!"

When Yang Jing heard this, he was so happy that he held his stomach and laughed. Lin Dan slept very lightly, especially because he was particularly sensitive to light. He would not be able to sleep a little brighter. It was better on the boat. The curtains at the cabin window were very tight and basically not transparent. There were eye masks to use, so he could ignore the early sun. But it was not possible in a hotel. The curtains in this hotel were very ordinary, and as soon as the sun came out, the room could shine slightly. As a result, Lin Dan became miserable.

Clark McCann smiled and said, "I reminded him when I got off the boat last night and asked him to take a blindfold. Who knew he forgot..."

The princess was also happy after knowing it. Everyone in the room was happy, leaving Lin Dan with a frown face.

After breakfast, everyone made an appointment to go out to visit this beautiful small town. After all, they had to stay here for two days and could relax.

Nuuk in summer is still very beautiful. The snow that covered here for eight months has disappeared at this time, but snow can still be seen on the mountains not far away. Some conifer trees become lush at this time, and flowers are also blooming in this rare warm season.

Standing at the door of the hotel, waiting for the arrival of the local tour guide we were looking for. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, it would be hard to believe that the small town surrounded by green shades in front of us was actually a city on the edge of the Arctic Circle.

Because everyone speaks Danish or Greenland here, and few speak English, Yang Jing and Gege and his group must find a tour guide who knows English. After waiting at the entrance of the hotel for more than ten minutes, an Inuit drove a Ford pickup truck and parked in front of everyone.

The Inuits are what we call Eskimos, but in North America, you'd better not say Eskimos, otherwise they will turn against each other. You call them Eskimos, just like the people in Shanghai in China call them "Little Red Man" from outsiders, it would be strange if they don't turn against you.

Although this guy is an authentic Inuit, he has a very Western name, "Hey, everyone, I am Jack. Aitmuke, you can call me Jack, I am the tour guide who serves you today."

This Jack is not the Jack played by Little Little Little in "Titanic". This guy is more than 1.9 meters tall, with a beard on his face, very tough, and is comparable to Clark McCann.

After a while of greeting each other, Yang Jing and Princess began to walk to visit the city under the leadership of Jack.

Nuuk is too small. Although this city governs an area of ​​more than 100,000 square kilometers, the city is too small. Even from the southwest end of the city to the northeastern airport, the straight line distance is only five kilometers. As for the width, it is only about two kilometers. It takes less than half a day to visit the city.

In fact, as the capital of Greenland, Nuuk still receives a lot of tourists from all over the world every year, which has also given birth to many local tour guides. However, the best season for Nuuk is in winter, and only in that season can you truly experience the polar style.

Jack was obviously a very qualified tour guide. Along the way, he introduced many famous local buildings and scenery to Yang Jing and Gege, although the city did not have any good scenery...

"Did you see that mountain?" Jack pointed to the high mountain in the northeast. The top of the mountain is still wearing a "white hat" - no melting snow. "That is the most famous Mount Sadle in our Gothob. It is located on the island of Sermiziac, which is the island in the north Nupu Congrua Fjord. The Mount Sadle is 1,210 meters above sea level and is the highest mountain near Gothob. This mountain often appears as a background in the panoramic view of our Gothob and can be seen in most parts of the city. It is regarded as one of the most famous natural scenery in our Gothob."

Jack said, taking out a travel brochure like a magic trick. On the cover of this brochure, it was indeed the mountain.

As for the Gothob that Jack mentioned, it is another name for Nuke. Nuke is the English name for the capital of Greenland by Westerners, but among the locals, they are more accustomed to calling this city Gothob. Because in Greenland, Gothob represents beautiful hope.

"Can you go to that mountain to see?" asked Princess, her English was also quite fluent.

Jack nodded with a smile, "Of course, but don't look at the mountain, but in fact it is twenty kilometers away from our straight line, and it needs to be taken by boat. If you are sure to enjoy Sadler in close distance, I can arrange a boat for you."

When he heard that he was going to take a boat again, the princess hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head, "Forget it, since she wants to take a boat, I won't go. I've just been on the boat these days, and I'm almost tired of taking a boat."
