Chapter 1347 1330. Magic Kingdom (15)

Iceland is an amazing country.

First of all, the origin of the name of this country is amazing enough. Listening to the name and the fact that this country is close to the Arctic Ocean, many people think that the climate of this country should be severely cold all year round.

In fact, this is not the case. It is now rumored that one reason is due to the colonizer's strategy.

After the first colonists settled on the island, they didn't want others to share their "food in the mouth", hence the name "Iceland". They wanted to use this name to disguise the severe cold climate on the island and prevent people from coming.

The plane landed at Reykjavik International Airport. It was nine o'clock in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly in New Zealand, while the wind was howling and the sky was dark here.

Bo Dad and Bo Mom didn't know the specific situation in Iceland. They woke up and looked out, wondering: "Didn't it say that we landed at nine o'clock local time? Is it too early or too late? It's not dawn or it's dark gone."

"It's still dark and it's nine o'clock in the morning," Eva explained.

Dad Bo was shocked: "It's still not light at nine o'clock in the morning?!"

Eva nodded and said, "Yes, Dad, at this time of year, there are only five hours of dawn here a day."

Bo's father and Bo's mother were dumbfounded: "Then why are we here? Why don't we go back to our hometown, isn't this day too short?"

Wang Bo smiled and said, "Yes, the days are very short, but the climate and environment in Iceland are great."

"The weather is good? There is still snow outside, you tell me the weather is good?" Father Bo said angrily.

Bo's mother thought for a while and said: "We are in the Arctic Circle, right? In a normal place, God is so short?"

Father Bo sighed and said, "It's really a work, why do young people like to do it so much? It's a good spring in New Zealand, but I came here to spend the winter."

Little Lolita said: "No, Uncle, we are here for Christmas, and it will be cold and snowy during Christmas. One year we went to Santa Claus' hometown, it is so beautiful."

Father Bo said: "Anyway, we are already here, beautiful or not, we have to stay here, come on, old woman, put another dress on the granddaughter, put the princess in her arms to keep warm, don't freeze the child."

The plane landed and they started packing.

Wang Bo said to Eva: "I finally came to Iceland. When I first studied geography in junior high school, it was easy to confuse two places, Iceland and Greenland."

If the name of Greenland is translated literally, it is a green island, and Iceland is an icy island, but the situation of the two islands is just the opposite. Iceland has a mild climate and is green everywhere, but Greenland is ice and snow, and there is no green.

In areas close to the poles, Iceland has the best climate and environment.

This is due to its unique conditions. Iceland is located at the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean, at a high latitude.

However, due to the influence of the North Atlantic warm current and the control of the westerly belt, it belongs to the temperate marine climate, which is a special climate in the same latitude area.

This vast island is heavily influenced by the warm North Atlantic Current, the main stream of which flows through it to the south and one branch which circles it to the west and north.

Therefore, although it is located near the Arctic Circle, the temperature in winter is not low, with an average temperature of about two degrees below zero, which is milder than New Zealand's winter.

They were unlucky. When the plane landed, the wind was howling outside, and there were some snowflakes in it, so it was still relatively cold.

The captain of the plane often came to Iceland. He came to help Wang Bo pack his luggage and said with a smile, "If you don't like the weather in Iceland at this time, please wait for five minutes. It may be worse than it is now."

Wang Bo smiled wryly: "My God, luck can't be so bad, can it?"

The captain said regretfully: "Mr. Mayor, it's not that you are unlucky, but anyone who knows a little about the weather in Iceland knows that the weather here is simply an unsolved mystery—it can only be guessed."

At first Wang Bo thought the captain's words were a bit exaggerated, but when they finished packing and were about to leave, the car had just left the airport, and the howling cold wind suddenly began to decrease, and there were no snowflakes.

Seeing this, Eva said happily: "It seems that Iceland still welcomes us very much."

The driver who drove the car was the administrator of BACH. He was a small butler. He was responsible for the maintenance of several BACHs. When he learned that they were coming for vacation, he specially came to receive them.

Hearing Eva's words, he turned his head and said with a smile: "Yes, ma'am, this wind has been blowing for a day and a night, and it stopped as soon as you came here. It's a good thing."

Wang Bodao: "Mr. Morrison, please keep an eye on the road, don't speed up when you turn around like this!"

Butler Morrison shrugged and said, "Don't worry. In the next hour, there will be no more than ten vehicles on this road. We can drive with confidence."

Iceland's land area is 103,000 square kilometers, but its population is only 300,000. It is also the country with the smallest population density in Europe, where the population is considered sparse.

The airport is only a five-minute drive from the capital Reykjavik. This is the introduction of "Lonely Planet". It seems a bit like a joke. After all, in order to prevent disturbance to the people, all airports are built away from the city.

But Reykjavik International Airport is indeed the case, because the whole of Iceland is such a large city, and the southwestern region near the capital accounts for two-thirds of the country's population.

Icelanders like freedom and quietness, so the house was built and spread all the way to the airport.

However, the airport is quite far from the city center, a full 50 kilometers.

The place they are going to is in the north of the capital, where BACH is located. Reykjavik is located in the west of Iceland, facing the sea in the west and surrounded by mountains in the north and east.

Little Lolita asked enthusiastically, "Uncle, is our house beautiful?"

Morrison laughed: "Yes, my lady, it's absolutely beautiful, you need to see for yourself, I can't tell."

"It would be great if you come from June to the end of August. At that time, our Iceland will have a polar day phenomenon, and there will be almost no nights. There will be lively activities all day long."

Wang Bo said: "In fact, we also have them in New Zealand. Do you know the South Island of New Zealand? It is very close to the South Pole. The southernmost part of the island also has polar day and polar night, but it is relatively short."

Eva also shook her head: "I'm not interested in polar day or polar night."

"Why?" Morrison asked puzzled.

Eva shrugged and said, "Because the dark environment will make me drowsy, and I can't sleep well in the morning, so I can't sleep well in the polar day, and I can't sleep all day in the polar night." sleepy."

Wang Bo gave her a thumbs up, which is really my sleepy daughter-in-law style.

Because of the darkness, although Morrison said the road was flat, he actually drove carefully: "This is to avoid rabbits, stupid birds and reindeer that may rush into the road."
