Chapter 723: Permanent Freeze
Chapter 723: Permanent Freeze
Compared to other ships, the Tesis Expedition is not too big, but with a length of more than 140 meters, it just ran over the ice sheet, and the gap left was bigger than a dozen people who worked hard. The ice cave dug out in hours is much bigger!
The gray whale trapped in the small ice cave came to the waterway, only to feel that it suddenly became rich, and the cramped space for movement suddenly became abnormally wide.
The way of breathing is also much easier. Originally, the gray whales need to move up and down in the vertical distance of the ice cave, sticking their whole heads out of the ice cave in exchange for a short breath.
At this moment, it only needs to go up briefly in the horizontal direction, exposing the air hole, and then you can take a big breath, which is extremely smooth, almost no different from returning to the sea.
The only point that needs attention is not to let the whale get too close to the stern, otherwise it may cause damage.
For this reason, Captain Harveys arranged for several sailors to stay at the stern. Once the gray whale was found to be close to a safe distance, it was necessary to use sound waves to drive it away.
Some tourists tried to come to the upper deck to watch and take pictures, but most of them were dispersed by the second officer, leaving only a small number of passengers. With the help of the sailors, each group could only stay for ten minutes.
Those who haven't yet had their turn can only squeeze their faces into the narrow portholes, looking at the unchanging ice field, squinting as far as they can to see the gray whale behind the ship, but it's all in vain.
The few tourists standing on the upper deck without exception took out their mobile phones, and the sound of shooting was endless.
Under the clear starry sky, there was a faint gray light on the ice sheet, reflecting the dark waterway. Three huge gray whales were probing from the sea one by one. Passengers took the opportunity to take pictures and send them to their personal accounts.
At this time, each of the more than 200 tourists on the boat has become a social expert. They only need to post a few scattered photos to capture the gray whale, and they will get a lot of likes and comments.
"I'm so envious. Becoming friends with a whale is definitely the most exciting adventure in my life!"
"One ticket is 10,000 euros. I want to say that even if the journey costs 100,000 euros, someone will definitely buy the ticket!"
"Oh my God, if I knew how exciting this trip was, I wouldn't be able to change the ticket!"
"Exchanging tickets, man, it's not what I think it is?"
"That's right, it's exactly what you thought (publishing the refund record of the Tesis). I wanted to go out for fun this holiday, but it happened suddenly. Because of some work matters, I had to cancel the trip."
"Your boss should be hanged."
"plus one."
Almost everyone expressed their envy. Seeing the rising number of likes, everyone felt satisfied.
It is true that some people had a lot of negative emotions before, but they all dissipated in such envious voices and turned into laughter.
If there is still such a good thing, please do it again!
"Be careful of the bumps and don't get close to the fence!"
The sailors had to warn passengers trying to get close to the fence, which is 1.4 meters high, and a normal adult is unlikely to fall, but a mobile phone can.
Just now, because a passenger was too close to the fence, he was too bumpy when the Tesis hit the ice. His hand shook, and his mobile phone fell into the vast sea and disappeared, becoming a piece of marine garbage.
Warnings and dissuasions have been used, and the passenger can't blame anyone, but can only go back to the room and sulk.
【Envy to tears, I also want such an event】
【Damn it, I'm lucky. When I went on a trip, it was crowded with people. All I saw were big butts. Why didn't I have such good luck? 】
【If I go, this matter will last for three years】
[Less, at least I can blow it to my grandson]
【Great-grandson is not impossible】
A large number of people fell into regret. If they could buy the same ticket before Bi Fang set off, maybe they could save the gray whale together with their idols now.
Not to mention that there is still a chance in the middle, because the Tesis has returned to Hong Kong, even if it has not received advance information, it can still be encountered when it follows.
It's a pity that there is no if.
Life cannot be repeated.
Bi Fang did not board the Tesis. He watched the ship move slowly from a hundred meters away. There were still a lot of half-headed reindeer roasted in the morning, and they were sent to the ship's kitchen. Also some thanks to everyone.
Captain Harveys also received a complete reindeer head as a gift from Bi Fang. Since the specimen could not be made in time, only pale bones remained, which looked extremely ferocious, but added a sense of domineering and wildness.
Harveys was very happy to receive the gift, and hung it in the center of the captain's room, where anyone who entered could see it at a glance.
It was already three o'clock in the morning. Although most people on the Tesis were very energetic and even excited, for Bi Fang, they were already quite tired.
Bi Fang stretched out the musk ox hide and prepared to deal with it all night. The six sled dogs all came closer and sat around everything. There was no need to dig holes, and it was enough to directly build a snow wall to block the wind and snow.
Sleep until noon.
The Tesis is no longer in sight, indicating that the progress is going smoothly.
After a brief tidying up, Bi Fang ate some breakfast and found that the Tesis was only two miles away from the coast, and maybe it might return to the sea early this morning!
Bi Fang's prediction was correct. At two o'clock in the morning, a rare purple aurora appeared in the starry sky. With the last collision, the channel was connected with the sea, and several broken white ice floes floated onto the sea. The route was completely opened up.
Everyone stared nervously at the sea.
Until the last moment, no one knows the final result.
After a brief silence, everyone could hear their own heartbeats in their ears.
Just then, a whale jumped out of the sea.
The huge body with a length of more than 15 meters and a weight of more than 30 tons flew into the air, stopped for a moment, and then fell along the same path, blasting the sea surface alive.
That scene is so shocking, like a slow-motion shot in a movie, after the first head, there is the second head, the third head, the fourth head, no, they come and go in a loop, jumping up again and again.
The incomparably huge body rushed seven or eight meters out of the sea, almost three stories high!
Large swaths of mist rose from the sea, dimming the colorful lights.
The ethereal whale cry resounded through the earth, and it was extremely long.
It was the catharsis after being trapped for a long time, and it was the joy of returning to the sea.
Whether it is the millions of viewers in front of the screen or the sailors and passengers standing on the upper deck, they have never felt the emotions contained in the animal calls so clearly, and they fell into a freeze for a while.
The gorgeous Northern Lights, the ice field illuminated by the "midnight sun", the wonderful moment of whales going out to sea, the speed and passion of dog sledding.
When people are busy walking around in high-rise buildings, maybe a whale rushed out of the sea in Greenland at the same time...
Visitors pressed the shutter to freeze this moment forever.
Owls are the only birds that can see blue.
