The young goslings mature in February or March of the following year. They can dive to a depth of about 100 meters. The total number of chinstrap penguins is the second most numerous penguin, with a population of about 14 million. Their main habitats are the South Shetland Islands and subantarctic islands on the west coast of the northern end of the Antarctic Peninsula, and the South Sandwich Islands account for about 2/3 of the total population.
Nalanshiqi was particularly looking forward to today's landing, because it is said that there is a base camp for chinstrap penguins here. After eating and drinking, we waited in line to go ashore. Today was another sunny day. In fact, Nalanshiqi really regretted not encountering a snowy day in Antarctica.
Yunluo and Nalanshiqi cannot get too close to them. The rule is to stay 5 meters away and not touch them. Although everyone wants to touch them, the rules are the rules. If they approach you automatically, just don't move or scare them. This is a good time to observe them up close.
Otherwise, I often use a telephoto lens to watch them. At this time, I will find that they are really cute, with silly steps.
They were too lazy to slide on the ground halfway, but they were sliding on the snow to cool down. The Antarctic summer was like the hot summer for Yunluo and Nalanshiqi. They couldn't bear the heat and couldn't shed their hair because of the big temperature difference.
They must be terribly hot on such a sunny day, and it would be cooler if they put their bellies on the snow. But to Nalan Shiqi, it was just like being lazy and wanting to slide, haha.
Actually, it is impossible to say that it is not cold at all, but it is not that cold either. However, Nalan Shiqi herself does not understand this behavior. Obviously, it was not Nalan Shiqi who instigated Diyunluo to take off her shirt.
Among those who came to Antarctica, there were quite a few men who took off only their shorts to take pictures, and there were also women who brought extremely sexy bikinis to take pictures. There were also many men and women who came to Antarctica for winter swimming, and there will be more to come.
Although Nalan Shiqi doesn't understand, she is happy to be a good audience o(n_n)o haha. Of course, there is only one reason why Nalan Shiqi doesn't understand. Even if you are not afraid of the cold, what can you do (*^__^*) Hehe...
They were all chasing after Nalan Seqi, and Nalan Seqi kept leaving images for them. Actually, Nalan Seqi didn't understand, but it was purely because of her personality. She liked to keep a low profile, which was reflected in these small things.
But in fact, Nalan Shiqi understands it very well. Nalan Shiqi understands the mentality of people doing such things in such an environment. Whether it is childishness or to show courage or to leave a unique memory, it is a mentality. In such an environment, no one will say you are a hooligan if you take off your shirt.
Everyone can laugh and run wildly, but if you do this with a few people on the streets of Sihai City, you will look like a big fool and a psychopath, and even affect the appearance of the city. So watching them laugh and play, Nalan Shiqi is very happy. Or if Nalan Shiqi is a man, he will do the same as them.
After Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi landed, Nalan Shiqi took pictures of penguins, and then she crawled to this place and lay down again. Looking ahead was the sea and Nalan Shiqi's boat. Nalan Shiqi almost fell asleep with her eyes half closed. The second photo below was taken secretly by Yunluo.
He was also lying not far away, and later found Nalan Shiqi, who found him when she was sorting through photos. After a while, he woke Nalan Shiqi up and asked her to look at the four penguins coming from behind, and the following photo was taken.
Four little penguins took small steps while playing and walking. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi laughed to death. Of course, these photos are also part of the ones selected by Nalan Shiqi. In fact, there are also videos. Nalan Shiqi will see if she can upload a few clips when she sorts them out.
See the shiny stones below after being wetted by water? Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi sat here for a long time because the sound of the waves hitting the stones was so beautiful. I tried to upload this video, but I don’t know if it can be watched yet. You can hear the rustling sound.
When I close my eyes, I feel like I don't know where I am. Nalan Shiqi used to like to pick up a piece of local stone and take it home whenever she went to a place, but she couldn't do that in Antarctica because she had to abide by the rules. So Nalan Shiqi made a lot of Mani piles with her favorite stones. She also sat by the side and listened for a long time.
After such a long time since I came back, Nalan Shiqi thought that Nalan Shiqi was very grateful for this rule. In order to deeply remember every stone and river there, Nalan Shiqi used her eyes and heart to remember it for a long time. So when I saw these photos again, the memories came back instantly. This feeling is very happy.
After an afternoon of landing, I was still a little tired. It was around 4 o'clock when I got back to the ship. I went back to the room to catch up on some sleep. There were some singing and dancing performances in the cafe on the third floor at 6 or 7 o'clock. I felt seasick after watching it for a while. Because Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi had been walking back for several hours, they were going to feel seasick again from now on.
But there was a captain's dinner at 7:30 in the evening, so Nalan Shiqi continued to lie in the room. Finally, when the time was almost up, she got dressed and packed up before going out.
I walked to the western restaurant on the second floor with a shaky step. I had no appetite for food. The girls who were already suffering from severe seasickness could not attend the dinner. Many of them left early like Nalan Shiqi and could not attend the party on the fourth floor at 9:30.
The human body is amazing, it will automatically adjust the mode when seasick. Even now, Nalan Shiqi doesn't feel that uncomfortable when she thinks about it. Nalan Shiqi only vomited twice, and she felt comfortable after vomiting.
Then I just lay flat. For Nalan Shiqi, lying flat is the best way to get through seasickness. It is the same for many people. Anyway, tonight, the sea was surging outside, but Nalan Shiqi still slept soundly. Later I learned that many people did not sleep well because of seasickness.
Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi traveled to and from Drake twice, and they encountered weather similar to the one in the picture, gloomy sky, even howling wind and raging waves.
Nalan Shiqi was still in the bedroom on the boat, lying flat to deal with seasickness. Fortunately, the return trip felt much faster and the wind and waves were concentrated. It was only when Nalan Shiqi was sleeping in the middle of the night. At other times, she could still bear it, so she didn't vomit.
Later, when chatting with Aunt Zhou, she said that because she was on the sixth floor, the boat was shaking very violently, so she took her camera to the deck for a stroll. At that time, the waves were more than 20 meters high, and the entire big wave was above the sixth floor, and her camera was soaked.
Nalan Shiqi could imagine the magnificence, but she didn't want to see it. They couldn't stay on the sixth floor because they could roll to the ground even if they lay down, so they stayed on the second and third floors for several hours before they dared to go. There was no beginning or end to this day's itinerary.
Nalan Shiqi spent the whole day lying in bed, eating a green apple when hungry, and Yunluo occasionally came back and brought Nalan Shiqi a handful of peanuts. When she was not moving, she was not very hungry, and the dizziness would automatically make her stomach numb, so Nalan Shiqi did not go to the restaurant that day. And Nalan Shiqi knew that most people stayed in bed like Nalan Shiqi that day.
From time to time, you can see the waves rolling over the terrace through the window, and the sea water is reflected on the glass door. After the strong wind and waves last night, the rattan chairs on the terrace have been tilted, and half of the waterproof cover has fallen off. Nalan Shiqi is very fortunate that Nalan Shiqi still slept well even in such weather.
Wearing the amulet, I had a dreamless night and passed through the devil's westerly belt safely. After passing this devil's passage, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi will still return to the human world, leave Antarctica, and return to normal after a short baptism. There are no photos, and I don't have the ability to take them.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This morning they passed through the windiest area and entered the calm sea. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were getting closer and closer to Ushuaia. Looking back they could not see the paradise-like place in Antarctica. The sky outside was gloomy, so they were a little anxious to reach the small town on earth as soon as possible.
In the afternoon, I could slowly see many makeshift houses on the shore. I was getting closer and closer to the port, which made me excited.
The wind and waves were quite strong this morning, so Nalan Shiqi got up a little late. I heard that the wind and waves early in the morning shook all the cups, knives and forks in the restaurants and cafes on the second and third floors to the ground, making it impossible to stand. Anyway, Nalan Shiqi didn't feel it.
By about nine o'clock, everything was quiet, and Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's boat sailed into the calm sea.
Nalan Shiqi quickly got up, took a shower and went out for a walk. When she went out, she saw that everyone was alive again. They greeted each other and were full of energy. It was fun. So seasickness is really not scary at all. You have to have full of positive energy.
There was a sharing session in the fourth floor theater in the morning. An expedition member told Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi about the history of people from all over the world coming to Antarctica. Nalan Shiqi listened very carefully, but unfortunately he didn't remember the names of those people. The picture below shows a group of people who came at that time.
At that time, the ships that came to Antarctica were so dilapidated that Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi could not imagine, so they really did not know how many dead souls were in Drake. And Nalan Shiqi had to mention that you would not feel bored on the ship, and the daily activities were really full. Entertainment, sharing, lectures, photography, all kinds of activities, in short, it was very fulfilling.
At night, Yunluo and Nalanshiqi can get off the ship and move freely. They will sleep on the ship tonight and go directly to the airport early tomorrow morning. After ten consecutive days of Western food, everyone must be bored. Ushuaia is a port city, so many people are waiting to get off the ship to eat lobsters and king crabs.
Nalan Shiqi, Yunluo and a few friends still calmly had dinner in the restaurant. Anyway, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi don't eat seafood. But Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi also wanted to get off the boat and stroll around to see the scenery of this small city at the southernmost tip. After eating, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi set off.
