MTL - Happy Little Mayor-Chapter 1330 . The Magic Kingdom (1/5)

Iceland is a very amazing country.

First of all, the origin of the name of this country is amazing enough. Many people think that the climate of this country should be extremely cold all year round.

In fact, this is not the case, and one reason now spreads is the plot of the colonists.

After the original settlers settled on the island, they did not want others to share their "mouth-eating", hence the name "Iceland". They wanted to use this name to camouflage the cold climate on the island and prevent people from coming to the wind.

The plane landed at Reykjavik International Airport. At this time, it was nine o'clock in the morning. The sun was shining in New Zealand, and the wind was screaming and the sky was dark.

Bo Da and Bo Ma didn't know the specific situation in Iceland. When they woke up and looked outside, they said strangely: "Don't we say we landed at 9 o'clock local time? Is it too early or too late? It's not bright or it's dark Now. "

"It's not bright yet, it's nine o'clock in the morning," Eva explained.

Bo Da exclaimed, "It's not lit at nine in the morning ?!"

Eva nodded. "Yes, dad, this time of day, there are only five hours of daylight here."

Bo Da and Bo Ma were dumbfounded: "What are we doing here? Why not go home? This day is too short, right?"

Wang Bo laughed: "Yes, the days are short, but the climate and environment in Iceland are great."

"The climate is good? There is snow outside, you tell me the weather is good?" Bo Da said angrily.

Bo Ma thought for a while and said, "Let's be in the Arctic Circle, right? Normally, how can it be so short?"

Bo Da sighed, "It's a real work, why do young people like to work like this? Good New Zealand, but spring and winter."

Little Rory said: "No, uncle, we are here for Christmas. It will be cold and snowing after Christmas. One year we went to Santa's hometown, where it is beautiful."

Bo Da said: "Anyway, we are all here. Beauty and beauty must stay here. Come, wife, put on a granddaughter's clothes and put the princess in her arms to keep her warm, but don't freeze the child."

The plane landed and they started packing.

Wang Bo said to Eva: "Finally, I came to Iceland. When I first studied geography in junior high school, it was easy to confuse the two places, Iceland and Greenland."

If the name of Greenland is translated literally, it will be a green island, and Iceland is an icy island. However, the two islands have the opposite situation. Iceland has a mild climate and green everywhere, but Greenland is ice-cold, snow-free, and green.

Near the polar regions, Iceland's climate and environment are considered the best.

This is due to its unique conditions. Iceland is located at the intersection of the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, at high latitudes.

However, due to the influence of the North Atlantic warm current and the control of the westerly zone, it belongs to a temperate marine climate and is a special climate in the same latitude area.

This vast island is deeply affected by the North Atlantic warm current. The main stream of this warm current flows through it to the south, and one branch runs around its west and north.

Therefore, although it is located near the Arctic Circle, the winter temperature is not low, and the average temperature is about minus two degrees, which is milder than New Zealand's winter.

They were out of luck. When the plane landed, the wind blew outside. Some snowflakes were caught in it, and it was still cold.

The captain of the plane often came to Iceland. He came to help Wang Bo pack his luggage and laughed: "If you don't like the weather in Iceland at this time, please wait five minutes. It may be worse than it is now."

Wang Bo smiled bitterly: "My God, isn't luck so bad?"

The captain said regretfully, "Mr. Mayor, it's not that you're out of luck, but anyone who knows a little about Iceland's weather knows that the weather here is an unsolved mystery and you can only guess."

At first Wang Bo thought that the captain's words were a bit exaggerated, but when they packed up and prepared to leave, the car just drove out of the airport, and the whizzing wind suddenly began to decrease, and there were no snowflakes.

Seeing this, Eva said happily: "It seems that Iceland still welcomes us."

The driver who drives the car is the administrator of the bach, which is a little housekeeper who is responsible for the maintenance of multiple baches. It is learned that they are on vacation and specially come to receive them.

After listening to Eva's words, he turned back and smiled, "Yes, ma'am, the wind has been blowing all day and all night, and you stop when you come here, this is a good thing."

Wang Bodao: "Mr. Morrison, please look forward to the road, don't speed up when you look back!"

Butler Morrison shrugged: "Don't worry, in the next hour, there will be no more than ten cars on this road, we can safely drive."

With a land area of ​​103,000 square kilometers, Iceland has a population of only 300,000. In Europe, where population is scarce, it is also the country with the smallest population density.

The airport is only five minutes away from the capital Reykjavik. This is the introduction of "Lonely Planet". It looks a bit joking. After all, to prevent disturbance, all airports are built away from the city.

But Reykjavik International Airport does. This is because Iceland is such a large city, and the southwestern region near the capital accounts for two-thirds of the country's population.

Icelanders like to be free and quiet, so building houses is spreading so hard that they spread all the way to the airport.

However, the airport is quite far from the city center, and it is 50 kilometers away.

The place they were going to was the capital, north, where the bach is located. Reykjavik is located in the west of Iceland, facing the sea in the west, and surrounded by mountains in the north and east.

Little Loli asked with interest: "Uncle, is our house beautiful?"

Morrison laughed: "Yes, my lady, it's so beautiful, you need to see it for yourself, I can't say it."

"It would be nice if you arrived from June to the end of August. At that time, there will be extreme daylight in our Iceland. There will be almost no night, and there will be lively activities throughout the day."

Wang Bo said: "In fact, we also have it in New Zealand. Do you know the South Island of New Zealand? It is very close to the South Pole. The southernmost tip of the island also has polar days and nights, but it is relatively short."

Eva also shook her head: "I have no interest in polar day or polar night."

"Why?" Morrison asked, puzzled.

Eva shrugged: "Because the dark environment makes me sleepy, and I can't sleep well at dawn, then I can't sleep well all day when it's extremely daytime, and all day long when it's extremely nighttime. sleepy."

Wang Bo gave her a thumbs up, this is really my style of sleeping daughter-in-law.

Because of the darkness, although Morrison had previously said that the road was flat, he actually drove carefully: "This is to avoid rabbits, stupid birds and reindeers that might get on the road."
