"Packageing" Myself

Baptism of the Ice and Fire

Set foot on the country of this stretch of ice and snow which is covering 103,000 sq. km. of land, everything mysterious fresh, Iceland the land exist 20 million years already at the earth, it is more than of sixfold of the human history, compared with other continents, still very young in geography, but some too unpeaceful, slightly climate is being trampled on evil constantly, the rocking of the earthquake, burn the restructure of the lava, the glacier smashes and the deformation that the volcano erupted.

The car drove on the expressway, it was the large stretch of tongue tinea ground of both sides of the way that hove in sight, also want the great bulk more than the water-melon, because of the ice and snow, rainwater is moist, grassy green, unless the red in background for hertzs of color chain of mountains, last layers of yarn drizzly drizzle,when the low in frank August, still covering the ice and snow on the mountaintop, this stretch is majestic, grave and stern land, 11% are covered by the glacier, 20% are suitable for grazing, only 1% of the land is suitable to cultivate, barren land where other parts are covered by volcanic rock dust and black sand and soil.

At the port SEYDISFJ in the southeast of Iceland? RDUR, we supplementary various food, the article for daily use, the car fills it up with the oil, this kind of car has two fuel tanks, can refuel 180 liters, only use a fuel tank at ordinary times, but drive on this stretch of land of Iceland, fill it up for being wonderful. Word that we make at Iceland the soil of glamour competent to drive Reykjavik to reach the southwest finally from here.

Glacier - Does the watt receive the glacier (Vatnaj? kull) It is the biggest glacier within the territory of Iceland, area is 8,400 sq. km., it is the cube 3,300 kilometer to suck the ice amount, increase slowly, because glacier bottom volcano, volcano change make to melt thick liquid erupt the earth's crust, but be iced and formed at once, make the glacier increase ceaselessly slow, cause the avalanche, the ice is jumped, does the ice of big one carry the glacial lake (J falling from Sichuan under the glacier foot? kuls l n),These big floating ices of one do not melt in the lake all the year round, some even have the ice age of 2,000 years, these ice-cubes will send out enormous sounding while carried from Sichuan and rolled and fallen downwards, residents in the town outside 20 kilometers can all hear.

Park the car on the lakeside, Iceland travels and consults the service center on the lakeside, a pleasure-boat serves, can make the upper reaches of a lake among these floating ices by ship, here is a good place to observe the aurora borealis, although not season, usually in winter. But if it is lucky would probably see, it is not peak tourist season in September this summer and autumn, but still car come car.

Buy tickets, go on board with other visitor, ship amphibious to have, open ice function also, everybody puts on the tangerine life vest, the ship has gone 100 meters and reached the lakeside on the land later, there are 3 lifeguards on the motor lifeboat on the lakeside, they want to walk with our ships, has already prevented someone from falling into water, the temperature of the lake water is very low, if someone falls into water, over 3 minutes, it is very difficult to survive.

Under the circumstances that the soft voice of young lady of the guide follows, the ship is big and small in these, the exchanges shuttle back and forth among the peculiarly shaped ice-cubes, because ice condition is different, in sunlight, it is mere to send out the blue and brilliant and brilliant one, some ice-cubes are transparent, can see the netted crackle inside, just as if insulting more crystals lights on the stage, some affix the black sand and rock dust in the course of rolling and falling, stand in the deep and remote and blue lake water, or lie around other pure white ice-cubes sideways, like the copper iron sculpture, some rise because of the temperature, some aspects are melted into different forms, or the adult type, or become bird's form, make you have to sigh over the superb craftsmanship of the nature with feeling.

When the ship stops in the middle of the lake slowly, people put forward query, is it the engine that go out of order? Gaze around, the little motorboat drives towards our ship whom people whisper, someone passes a piece of blue sparkling ice-cubes, the young lady of the guide uses the iron hammer on the desk, hit the big ice into a fragment, introduce, the ice has survived in 2,000 and has not melted in Iceland, we can have a trial test, it and ordinary ice are nothing different, put in the mouth, the cold presses on towards the throat, perhaps imagine covering with mystique of a layer for the ice, feel pleasantly sweet in the mouth.

When the ship returns to the land, several seals are hit-and-miss in water, because this lake links up with the sea in that side of the way, some seals move to living here, perhaps it is the not overbearing wave here, apter to pray on, they breed to survive here, unrestrained and leisurely life is between lake and sea.

Having got back to on the bank, curiosity drives me to carry an empty plastic bottle, beat at the bank, seal hear noise, visit close on water, lift cerebellum melon gaze around, the seals have very strong curiosity, when it is sent out that there are noises, it is essential for them to see an outcome.

We meet two from student that Poland come, they suspend schooling in Iceland making foot tours in here, they have already walked for 3 months on this stretch of land, this kind of arduous one walks, can imagine, the tent, the cooking utensils and all travel indespensible equipment should be all shouldered on their back, the hotels of Iceland are unusually expensive, two persons always sleep in the open in the tent, the personal hygiene is very easy to solve, because the geothermal resources of Iceland is developed, the big and small city, there are swimming pools in the village, in even winter, the open-air swimming pool is steaming hot, bleach the snow flake, on one side in degree of ponds bubble of up toing, some bring little temperature Chi of whirlpool bath can reach 43 degrees, there is a service facility of complete set in the swimming hall of Iceland, can enjoy the sunshine bath, the bath of hot spring, comfortable hot spring shower, the admission fee is very reasonable too, this benefits from the abundance of the geothermal resources too.

We drank the aperitif with two Polish students, used local materials before dinner, strike on the small floating ices in the lakeside down some fragments, put in the wine, we drink Martinii of the intact bottle. lt them remember that an hour misspent is eqivalent to the loss of a banknote, and that an hour rtiliaed is tantamount to so much silve or gold; and then they will probably think twice before they give their consent to the loss of any part of their time|bvi|nikon d300
