Chapter 322 Arrival

"Then I wish you a successful start. You will see whales on the first day you go out to sea, and then come back early and stay with me."

Wang An'an suddenly had an urge to touch Luo Chengyan's head, really like a big dog longing for its owner!I miss rua so much!

You know, people sometimes have slow brains.

Wang An'an is now, before his brain can react, he raised his hand quickly and touched Luo Chengyan, satisfied!

"Haha! Let me borrow your auspicious words, I hope I can take the scene I want, I will miss you, and I will contact you when I am free, I will send you a message every day.

Also, don't provoke other girls! "

"Just don't worry about this, I'm definitely a good example of a househusband."

That night, Luo Chengyan stayed at Wang An'an's house, because Wang An'an had to get up early to catch the plane the next day, and Luo Chengyan didn't intend to bother her anymore, so the two of them chatted under the quilt for a while and then fell asleep deeply.

The next day, when the sun shone into the bedroom, Wang Anan squinted his eyes, wishing he could only open a small slit.

"It's so dazzling..."

"It's almost time, it's time to get up."

Wang An'an really likes Luo Chengyan's voice just after waking up. It's a little vague, but very deep, and it's very pleasing to listen to!

If there is such a voice to wake up every day, it would be a joy to get up!

Standing at the gate of Pudong Airport.

There is an endless stream of people inside the door, and they don't stop for anyone outside the door.

Everyone is a passerby, only the suitcase is really where to take.

"Safe trip! Send me a message when you arrive."

"Okay! Don't worry!"

Wang Anan waved her hand and walked towards the airport. A new journey and new scenery were calling her!

After passing the security check, Wang Anan had already seen Zhu Lin who was waiting for him at the security checkpoint, and Zhu Lin had already spotted Wang Anan when she was passing the security check, and she was walking towards this side.

Wang Anan waved her hand and greeted her: "Zhu Lin!"

After the two met, they immediately went through the procedures, checking in, checking in, and waiting.

When Wang An'an and Zhu Lin arrived in Iceland, Wang An'an became a waste An'an.

The long time of not touching the ground made Wang An'an feel in a trance when he stepped on the ground, and even his legs were light.

At the airport in Iceland, as soon as he got off the plane, Wang Anan felt the heat in the air as if it was being emptied instantly.

From a sea city with a temperature of more than 30 degrees to Iceland with a maximum temperature of [-] degrees.

It can be said that summer has entered winter in an instant.

Akureyri is a city in the north of Iceland, which means it will be closer to the North Pole than Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, is in the south.

The city is small and the population is not large, but it is the second largest city in Iceland and the largest city in northern Iceland.

The bay is deeply inland, and the cliffs on both sides of the bay and the unique geographical environment make it the main port of Iceland, a perennial ice-free port.

Here, the North Atlantic warm current and the East Greenland cold current converge, making the fishery resources here also very rich.

Akureyri is backed by snow-capped mountains and faces a green lake. The scenery is very beautiful, but this does not affect its development. There are not only industries such as cod liver oil extraction, textiles, shoemaking and refrigeration factories, but also agricultural experiment stations.

The most amazing thing is the sun in the middle of the night, which can be described as a local wonder. In June and July every year, the sun can be seen here almost all day long.

Wang Anan and Li Lin dragged two suitcases, put on a coat, and walked out of the airport excitedly.

The cold weather couldn't stop Wang Anan's inner fiery heart.

As soon as I got out of the gate, I saw a huge pick-up sign with my name written in Chinese.

Wang Anan walked towards the bearded uncle who picked up the plane.

Wang Anan doesn't speak Icelandic, so he can only use the more common English.

"Hello, I'm Ann..."

After talking, Wang Anan learned that the bearded foreigner was Paxson, a local who was arranged by National Geographic to pick him up from the airport, and he was also the captain of the filming trip.

"Ann, you look so beautiful! Come on, I'll take you to the place to stay first.

What a smart move to come to Iceland in this season!God only knows how beautiful it is! "

"Paxson, we came in a hurry, where is the best place for us to enjoy the beauty of Iceland?"

"Then you are really asking the right person, trust me, go see the volcano and the waterfall!"

Paxson recommended Gods Waterfall and Glacier Lake to Wang Anan, and said that although Mi Lake is also very famous, it is not amazing.

"But you don't have so much time to appreciate them now, because we have arranged for us to go to sea tomorrow to look for giant beasts in the deep sea!"

Wang An'an knew that the deep-sea monsters that Paxson mentioned were whales, and he specifically referred to blue whales.

Wang Anan was a little strange.

"Just to find the blue whale?"

At that time, it didn't say what kind of whale was photographed.

"Oh dear Ann, any whale is fine, but the one I've seen most recently is the blue whale!"

Wang Anan understood.

But I couldn't help worrying.

The number of blue whales on the earth can really be said to be very few!

Blue whales are not easy to kill and keep, and their enormous size, formidable weight, swimming speed and strength meant they were not usually a target of early whalers, who opted for sperm and right whales instead.

But when the number of these two types of whales decreased, whalers chose to kill more baleen whales, including blue whales. In 1864, the Norwegian Svend Foin equipped his ship with a harpoon specially designed to catch large whales.

Although troublesome at first, the method quickly became popular, and by the end of the 19th century, the number of blue whales in the North Atlantic began to gradually decline.

The huge body of the blue whale has a lot of fat, and people at that time used it to make soap, shoe polish and other things.

Therefore, blue whales began to be hunted and killed by whalers in large numbers, which caused the rapid growth of blue whales in the world.

In 1930 alone, 41 British, American and Japanese fishing boats slaughtered a total of 28325 blue whales.

By the end of World War II, the blue whale population was close to extinction.

It was not until 1960 that the International Whaling Commission began to ban the killing of blue whales, but by then 350000 blue whales had been killed. What an astonishing and terrifying number!

At this time, the population of blue whales in the world has been reduced to less than 100% of what it was 1 years ago, and there are only less than 50 blue whales in the world! ! !

Since whaling was banned, the number of blue whales in the world has basically remained unchanged, about 3000-4000.

Today, there are two populations of blue whales living in the North Atlantic.

The first are in Greenland, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.There are estimated to be around 500.

The second is further east, with the Azores in spring and Iceland in July and August—yes, Iceland!
