Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo saw the flocks of white-browed penguins as soon as they came ashore. White-browed penguins are also called Papua penguins and Gentoo penguins. They are relatively large, about 60-80 cm long and weigh about 6 kg. It is a kind of penguin with delicate features. It looks naive and interesting, and walks like a gentleman, so it is also commonly known as the "gentleman penguin". On this island, you can see these penguins in groups and pairs. Now is the season for penguin eggs to hatch. As you can see in the picture below, many female penguins are lying on their stomachs to hatch eggs. So the ones you see strolling outside are basically male penguins. Although they are called pairs by Nalan Shiqi, they are actually neighbors or good buddies at most.

Actually, penguins look very cute. But their calls are monotonous, "ahhhh", just like singing a line of lyrics. If they go fishing, they will be clean, but they are usually dirty. Their staple food is krill, so their feces are also dark red and smelly, haha. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo thought it was unpleasant when they smelled it in the first two days, but Nalan Shiqi got used to it later.

By the way, when I was in Antarctica, I chatted with many friends and found that many people felt tired after the cruise. Nalan Shiqi later found that they were definitely tired, because when Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were outside, they really used their whole body and soul to experience the extreme scenery of Antarctica, and used their eyes to search for the beautiful scenery and beautiful things there. Their energy must have been exhausted quickly. In fact, showing you these photos can only let you experience one-third of Antarctica. The beauty there cannot be recorded by photos at all. Those extremes are in the heart and imprinted in the mind, and will never be forgotten in this life.

Nalan Shiqi doesn't like to scan food with her phone before eating, so there are basically no photos of food in Nalan Shiqi's travel notes. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo finished their dinner and wandered around. The sunset at 10 o'clock in the evening dyed the snow-capped mountains in the distance into rose gold. It feels so beautiful. When thinking of Antarctica, the color that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo think of most is white. But in fact, Antarctica is colorful. There are white, blue, green, black, rose gold, and bright red. Come and experience the colorful Antarctica.

Because the weather was very good, the captain decided to continue exploring other parts of the Gerash Strait, because the climate in Antarctica is changeable. Many places cannot be visited due to weather conditions, but fortunately Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were able to visit some waterways that even the captain had never visited before.

The area of ​​the Jerash Strait is actually quite large. After landing on the first day and sailing all night, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo woke up early and found themselves surrounded by ice floes o(n_n)o.

According to the itinerary last night, there will be a landing this morning. However, when I looked outside, I thought I had crossed overnight, just like I had arrived at the North Pole, with floating ice. So landing is definitely unrealistic, these floating ice do not allow the assault boat to be launched.

No one's mood was affected. After all, it is a kind of luck to see such a large area of ​​floating ice. Otherwise, the changeable climate of Antarctica can show a variety of scenery. After breakfast, cover yourself tightly and go to the deck to see the style.

Today's weather is great. Half of the sky is covered with thick clouds, and the other half is covered with thin clouds, revealing the deep blue sky. There are many layers of clouds in the distance. They are ever-changing and very romantic. Haha. Will a polar bear with a baby suddenly emerge from these ice floes?

Nalan Shiqi was on the deck at the stern again. If it was a warm place, there would be a lot of people here, and they could bask in the sun and swim occasionally. But there were not many people on such a cold day, and only one photography enthusiast was waiting in the cold wind. At this time, Nalan Shiqi was standing on the highest deck at the stern.

After enjoying the floating ice in the morning, we went back to rest and then had lunch. At this time, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's boat had slowly sailed out of the floating ice area. Desserts and fruits after the meal, um. They were other people's desserts. Nalan Shiqi just thought the shape was fun and took a photo. I don't like desserts, I only like fruits, so the cherries are Nalan Shiqi's.

Received notice to cruise in the afternoon! In fact, landing and cruising have their own feelings. Landing is to experience the Antarctic continent, and cruising does not require much energy, just open your eyes to see and close your eyes to feel. One of the pilots of the assault boat that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo landed on this time is a cool and handsome guy.

Looking back at Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's boat, it seemed to be covered by a large halo. The sun in Antarctica always has a large halo. A halo is a light phenomenon formed when sunlight passes through ice crystals in the clouds and is refracted. It surrounds the sun and is colorful. The appearance of a halo often indicates that the sun is about to change. A halo is a relatively rare astronomical phenomenon, which can be a full halo or a gap halo.

It is called a rare astronomical phenomenon. Nalanshiqi and Yunluo were seen several times in less than ten days in Antarctica, and they were basically all halos, as shown in the picture below. In science, it is called a solar halo, and in faith, it can be seen as the Buddha's light shining. I think it is so beautiful.

It seems that I feel tired every time I come back, so I always drink a cup of hot water or hot tea in the cafe and then go back to the room to rest for a while. I don’t know if it’s because I overuse my eyes, but there are too many scenery and I don’t want to miss them, so I feel mentally exhausted. When I was lying in the room and couldn’t sleep, I edited a few Antarctic moods, as shown below.

After dinner, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were still excited because tonight there was the much-anticipated "Antarctic Voice". Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's six teams each performed several programs to compete, and then the judges gave scores. The judges included the ship's side and the "big shots" or special people in Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's team o(n_n)o haha~. The whole process was really hilarious, and it also made everyone more familiar with each other. And there were really many talents, many of them sang very well, and the poetry recitation was very emotional.

As the players of each team came on the field, their respective cheerleaders cheered and shouted hard, which was hilarious. The atmosphere was very warm and the show ended successfully. It is worth congratulating that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, childhood sweethearts of the seal team, won the first and second place respectively. One of the prizes they received was champagne signed by the captain, which Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo drank in Argentina later.

Land at Nak Harbor in the morning; visit the captain's room; have a champagne party at noon and take a group photo; continue to land at Cuverville Island in the afternoon; watch the song and dance evening organized by the Paris cshow band after dinner.

Porto Nacco is a gathering place for white-browed penguins and a refuge for Argentinian refugees.

Nack Harbour lies peacefully in the Anvergne Bay surrounded by mountains, with majestic glaciers as its natural barrier. Nack Harbour is one of the few places where you can land on the Antarctic continent.

Cuverville Island is located at 64°40'S, 62°37'W. The whole island is covered with ice and snow. However, reefs and outcroppings of rocks can still be seen on the shore washed by the sea. There are many aboriginal Gento openguins (Pygoscelis papua), which are in large numbers. It is an important place to watch penguins in the southernmost point.

People who really want to travel don't like group tours to some conventional destinations, so now more and more people choose to travel independently. In Nalan Shiqi's own experience, it is not because independent travel is more free. It is because when a journey is not under control, all kinds of interesting things will happen at any time. This fun does not only refer to lucky things, but also misfortunes or some setbacks in the journey.

Some people may say, who says there are no interesting things when traveling with a group? Of course there are, but after all, a group is under the control of a series of people such as your team leader, tour guide, travel agency operations, etc. If some small accidents and frictions really happen, especially bad things, in the minds of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, the guests in the group, it will be a completely different perspective. They will think that it is the other party's fault and will unconsciously magnify this small problem infinitely, instead of thinking that this is a common thing when traveling.

Having said so much about the way of traveling, Nalan Shiqi just wants to say that although Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo traveled with a tour group to Antarctica, the changeable weather in Antarctica, the complete lack of control over the natural environment and other objective reasons made Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's daily schedule completely unpredictable. So this is also one of the greatest pleasures of traveling to Antarctica.

Nalan Shiqi likes this kind of trip where you open your eyes not knowing what the new day will be like. It is full of fun and expectations, and it depends on your character and luck.

But Nalan Shiqi also wanted to say that even though Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were lucky enough to have encountered strong sunshine in Antarctica for so many consecutive times, the law of the world is that there are gains and losses. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo got continuous abundant sunshine, but what they lost was the romance of enjoying the snow in Antarctica. But Nalan Shiqi did not have any regrets, because only by being grateful for what you have received can you deserve your luck, right!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

As of today, the countdown to Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo’s trip to Antarctica has begun. Today is the second to last day before they can land, so everyone is still very much looking forward to it.

Today's sky is blue, without a single color, from far to near and then to the far distance, layer by layer. Today, Nalan Shiqi will take pictures after landing, and will not miss some of the penguins' naive behavior and some of the beautiful natural scenery.

But Nalan Shiqi's favorite thing to do is to lie down, lie down on the snow where there are few people at any time, open his eyes to look at the sky and close his eyes to feel it, or even take a nap, and he will really fall asleep, and his dreams will be pure and nothing.

Nalan Shiqi remembers that when she wrote her last travelogue, she had a lot of emotional words, and the more she wrote, the more she expressed them. But this time, Nalan Shiqi did not seem to have too many emotions about her unforgettable trip to Antarctica. (To be continued..)
