Great Wall Station

燃烧生命的小胖妞

China's Antarctic Great Wall Station is the first scientific research station established by China in Antarctica. It is located on the Fildes Peninsula in the west of King George Island in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It faces Great Wall Bay, a small bay in Maxwell Bay, to the east. The bay is wide and deep, with easy access. It is backed by a snow-covered mountain slope all year round and has abundant water resources.

Military Antarctic, more than 95% is covered by ice and snow, the ultimate dream of travelers is also the starting point of a new dream, really should come and see as soon as possible! Last chance of the tail cabin period "2020/2/10-2020/2/22 Antarctic Peninsula ＋ Polar Circle ＋ Ushuaia, South Shetland Islands, boarding and round-trip electricity is very good for a scarce itinerary, the tail cabin is very good price §, it is to earn! Post single/double/three-person cabin - there are currently a small number of remaining cabins; Newly renovated cruise ship in 2017, comfort doubled, one of the largest tonnage vessels in the polar cruise ship below 200 people, equipped with 2 balancers, more stable and safe navigation in the Drake Strait; 18 sea ice level, faster sailing through the sea full of dense ice floes; 2020-2021 The ship period has been out, welcome-South Antarctic Animal Penguins: hundreds of millions of different species of penguins gather in Antarctic "Seals: 90% of the world's different types of seals gather here: many kinds of seabirds, whales, why don't you choose too many cruise ships unexpectedly? There is a single limit on the number of landings in Antarctica, and 400 cruise ships have fewer landing times per landing, and the queue time is longer. 200 cruises are the most suitable. The South Shetland Islands cruise is located in the north of Antarctica. The following places are arranged according to the situation: • Yankee Harbour Taiwan Half Moon Island, Cap belt penguin and seagull important habitat platform King Geroge lsland, the largest island in the archipelago

King George Island

_yao_yao_

Because of the Antarctic tour, I took the Midnight Sunshine on Haida Road for the first time. In fact, this is also my first cruise trip, because there is not much to compare, and overall it feels very good. This is a Norwegian cruise ship, and the Norwegian krona is also charged for consumption on board. You can swipe Master, visa and other credit cards, and it will automatically convert the exchange rate. The staff responsible for each business above are very enthusiastic and very enthusiastic. The restaurant is also very good, the food inside, no matter the freshness and quality are very good, eat the sweetest watermelon in history~ nostalgic~

Antarctic Sound

139***60

When you arrive at the Antarctic Strait, it is like entering a fairy tale world, with magnificent glaciers and snowy mountains in front of you, the water is not a little ripple, calm as a mirror, and there are large ice floes and pale blue icebergs floating on it.

Cuverville Island

尹泡喵

Cuverville Island is the largest colony of Gentoo penguins on the Antarctic Peninsula. The island itself does not have any special landscape, but the presence of thousands or even tens of thousands of Gentoo penguins makes the island full of vitality and, of course, full of smell... That smell is really unforgettable. The penguins there are not afraid of humans at all, but for the sake of protecting wildlife, we all keep our distance and quietly watch the penguins' naive appearance.

Paradise Bay

_yao_yao_

I went to Antarctica in the summer. In fact, Antarctica is not as cold as I imagined. If the weather is good, the temperature is around 5 degrees. It's just that the wind is very strong, especially if the weather is a little cloudy. The wind is even stronger, blowing on your face like a knife. So you don't have to be afraid of snow in Antarctica, but you have to be afraid of wind. You must pay attention to keeping your head warm. The weather in Paradise Bay occasionally cleared up, which is not easy in Antarctica. I took a lot of photos of floating ice. The blue ice against the blue sky is really beautiful~

Half Moon Island

pxy0705

Half Moon Island in Antarctica is a very famous island, because our country's Great Wall Station is located on Half Moon Island. Thousands of penguins and seals live here, and the sea water is very blue and clear. There is a leisurely sense of mystery in the blood. In addition, there are gorgeous auroras. It is definitely an important battle in the Antarctic tour. Be sure to take photos as a souvenir.

Lemaire Channel

乖小咪

The Lemari Strait on the Lima Waterway on King George Island in Antarctica is a wide channel with tall icebergs on both sides. Here you can see the most exotic scenery in Antarctica, the strange icebergs, crystal clear under the sunset, really magical dream.



Deception Island

尹泡喵

Di Sepushen Island is also called the deception island, as for why is the deception island, you can Baidu by yourself; It was a volcanic island, which became a base for people to hunt in the Antarctic about a hundred years ago, and was abandoned due to the drastic decline in whale numbers and environmental protection. Now there are huge whale-refining equipment on the island. The island will now be resident in 1-2 staff to record the nature and ecological environment of the Antarctic region.



Brown Bluff

尹泡喵

Brown Bluff is the real Antarctic continent. Although it is just a small tip on the Antarctic Peninsula, it is completely different from the concept of an outlying island. If you step on an island, you can only say that you have been to Antarctica, but if you step on this cliff, it is the real Antarctic continent. A cliff hundreds of meters high is not that special, but when there are penguins and seals under the cliff, it gives this cliff more different meanings.
