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.

Antarctica, more than 95% covered by ice and snow, is the ultimate dream of travelers It is also the starting point of a new dream, so you should really come and see it as soon as possible! Last chance for tail cabin sailing schedule『 2020/2/10-2020/2/22 Antarctic Peninsula + Polar Circle + South Shetland Islands Boat trip to and from Ushuaia The battery is very good, the trip is scarce, the tail cabin is very good, the price §, come on It’s profitable! Single/double/triple cabin-there is currently a small amount of remaining space; The newly renovated cruise ship in 2017 has doubled the comfort and can carry less than 200 people. One of the largest ships among cruise ships, it is equipped with 2 balancers, making it more stable and safe. Complete sailing of the Drake Passage; It has an ice level of 18 and can sail through the sea full of dense ice floes faster; The 2020-2021 shipping schedule has been released, welcome to China Watching animals in Antarctica Penguins: Hundreds of millions of penguins of different species gather in Antarctica “Seals: 90% of the world’s different species of seals gather here : Many kinds of seabirds and whales will meet you unexpectedly Why not choose a cruise with too many people? There is a limit on the number of people allowed to land in Antarctica at one time, and for a 400-person cruise ship, there is a time limit for each landing. Fewer and longer waiting times, a 200-passenger cruise is most suitable. South Shetland Islands cruise Located in the northern part of Antarctica, cruises to the following locations will be arranged according to conditions: • Yankee Harbor Taiwan Half Moon Island, an important habitat for chinstrap penguins and seagulls Taiwan King Geroge lsland, the largest island in the archipelago

King George Island

_yao_yao_

Because of the Antarctic tour, I took the Midnight Sun of Hurtigruten for the first time. In fact, this was also my first cruise trip. Because there is not much to compare, it feels good overall. This is a Norwegian cruise ship. The consumption on the ship is also accepted in Norwegian kroner. You can use Master, Visa and other credit cards, and the exchange rate will be automatically converted. The staff in charge of various business on it are very enthusiastic and passionate about their work. The restaurant is also very good. The food inside is very good in terms of freshness and quality. I ate the sweetest watermelon in history~ Miss it~

Antarctic Sound

139***60

Arriving at the Antarctic Strait, it is like entering a fairy tale world. Magnificent glaciers and snow-capped mountains appear before your eyes. The water surface is as calm as a mirror without a ripple, with large pieces of ice and light blue icebergs floating on it.

Cuverville Island

尹泡喵

Culverville Island is the largest Papuan penguin habitat on the Antarctic Peninsula, and the island itself has no special landscape, but the presence of thousands or even tens of thousands of Papuan penguins makes the island full of vitality, of course, full of taste... That taste is really unforgettable . Penguins there are not afraid of humans at all, but for the sake of protecting wildlife, we will keep our distance and watch the penguins quietly.

Paradise Bay

_yao_yao_

In the summer of the Antarctic to go to the Antarctic, in fact, the Antarctic is not as cold as expected. If the weather is good, the temperature is up and down 5 degrees, but the wind is particularly strong, especially if the weather is a bit cloudy, the wind is even bigger, and the whirring blows on the face like a knife, so I am not afraid of snow in the Antarctic, I am afraid of wind. Be sure to pay attention to keep your head warm. The weather in Paradise Bay occasionally clears up. It is not easy to get in the Antarctic. I took a lot of photos of floating ice. The blue ice is lined with the super beautiful blue innocence~

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 cliff is the real Antarctic continent, although this is only the small tip on the Antarctic Peninsula, but the concept of the outlying island is completely different, set foot on the island can only say that Antarctica, but set foot here is the Antarctic continent. The hundreds of meters high cliff is not so special, but when there are penguins and seals below the cliff, it gives the cliff a more different meaning.
