Jack is a good tour guide, and the price of 1,000 DKK a day is worth his hard work.
Under his leadership, Yang Jing and his team visited the University of Greenland, which they thought was shabby at first.
After visiting this university, Yang Jing and Gege learned that this university looks very small on the surface, but it is very interesting inside.
Whether it's the faculty or the library collection, the University of Greenland is very good, at least much better than expected.
The only thing that made Yang Jing and Gege feel a little uncomfortable was that the university was actually built next to Nuuk Airport, and the straight-line distance from the airport runway was less than 700 meters.
"It can't be helped, Nuuk is so big, and the terrain is constantly undulating, and it is not easy to find a suitable place to build an airport.
However, although our airport is the capital airport, there are not many planes that can take off and land every year, and most of them are spirals.
That kind of jetliner can't take off and land on this runway, which is only 950 meters long.
The propeller aircraft are much quieter."
That's a lot of justification.
But then again, Yang Jing has never seen such a shabby capital airport.
Although Nuuk is the smallest capital of a country in the world, you are also the capital of a country.
The airports of many small cities in the third and fourth tier cities in China are better than this airport And what the hell is that golf course between the University of Greenland and the airport?
If it weren't for Jack's repeated insistence that this was their only golf course in Gotthob, Yang Jing and Gege could barely make out some greens, they really couldn't believe that this was a golf course.
Even if the golf club course that Yang Jing and Gege saw on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain a few days ago, although it is more than 3,000 meters above sea level, there is still green grass and snow mountains, and the scenery is as beautiful as a painting.
But what the hell is this?
Is the turf of the golf course all cold moss?
It seems that the turf of the public football field in many small cities in China is a hundred times stronger than here!
It's too shabby, there is wood Finally, after seeing a series of "most" such as the world's most shabby capital airport, the most miniature capital university, and the most football-like golf field, Yang Jing and Gege finally couldn't bear to go on anymore.
But then again, this is definitely a very wonderful experience, if you don't see it with your own eyes, no matter what others say, they will not believe that a country with a per capita GDP five times that of China can be so shabby.
Definitely a long insight!
It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, the ancestors are really honest and don't deceive me!
However, the lunch at noon was eaten by a few people with smiles.
Compared to the seafood dinner I had three days ago in St.
John's, the seafood dinner here is undoubtedly better.
A lot of seafood from the cold sea of the Labrador Sea or Baffin Bay made Yang Jing and them happy.
Precious Arctic ginseng, delicious Arctic shrimp, and queen crab that is about the size of a pot lid after being spread out, these seafood that are difficult to see outside, there are so many seafood here, you can eat it if you want, and the price is not expensive.
So, two foodies from Huaxia and five more edible foodies from San Francisco, USA, were really happy.
After lunch and a little rest, the group took a yacht under the leadership of Jack to go out to sea to watch whales.
Nuuk is a world-famous whale watching destination, and although Greenland is located in the far north, it is home to many pure and immaculate glaciers, and the excellent sea environment has produced as many as 15 species of whales.
If you come to Nuuk in the winter to watch whales, you can only see three types of whales, narwhals, beluga whales and bowhead whales, also known as Greenland whales, but between May and September, you can see as many as 15 species of whales in this area, such as humpback whales, finned whales, minke whales, fin whales and other whales.
Yang Jing: They saw a pair of humpback whales in the afternoon.
The humpback whale is a medium-sized whale that is not considered a large whale among whales.
However, it has a pair of extra-long forewings and an extremely complex call.
Humpback whales are known as the "singers of the sea", their calls are extremely complex, once they call, it is really a yin and yang setback, especially when a pair of humpback whales start to chirp at the same time, the sound is really like a concerto.
And these big guys also like to jump out of the water, and when they are happy, they jump out of the water, and their posture is extremely athletic.
Once this kind of whale appears, it must come in pairs, and when you see one humpback whale, you can see the other, which is definitely a model of deep love between the couple.
On the way back, Yang Jing and the others were fortunate to see a group of about ten narwhals.
This kind of whale, which has a single horn more than two meters long, is only four or five meters long, which is considered a small size among whales.
However, because of the unique unicorn horn of the narwhal, it is easy to associate the legend of the unicorn, so for centuries, it has been believed to have medical effects and even magical powers.
You know, in the Middle Ages, when the narwhal's horn was the most valuable, the "narwhal horn" cost ten times as much as the same weight of gold.
Legend has it that Queen Elizabeth of England once received a narwhal horn worth 10,000 pounds, which could buy a castle at the time.
It is precisely because the narwhal has such a peculiar long horn that for a long time, this whale has been killed to the point of almost extinction.
Like the elephant's tusks, the puppet is innocent of his crimes!
But now it is much better, and with the vigorous protection of various countries, this once endangered animal has now regained its thriving population.

Compared to the shabby Nuke, it is undoubtedly much better to watch whales from the sea.
The only pity is that I didn't see the largest northern blue whale when I went out to sea to watch whales today.
But this day is quite fun, at least Yang Jing and Gege are very happy, this is enough.
The next day, Yang Jing and Gege slept until the third pole of the sun, it was really the third pole of the sun.
The sun comes out at three o'clock in the morning and seven o'clock in the morning.
Lin Dan didn't get up, this guy went back to the boat last night and got a pair of blindfolds, and finally got a good night's sleep.
Yang Jing and Gege didn't bother him either, let him sleep a little longer.
After breakfast, Yang Jing and Gege took four bodyguards to the Katuyak Cultural Center, and then visited the Nuuk Art Gallery and the Greenland National Museum.
It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that Yang Jing received a call from Andre, saying that he would leave tonight and let them come back.
The small capital city was almost done, and the two of them rushed back to the docks, boarded the Blue Whale and continued on their way.
The massive Blue Whale sails through the Davis Strait, east of Greenland, the world's largest island, and to the west is Canada's Baffin Island, the fifth largest island in the world.
In fact, since crossing the Labrador Sea, the Arctic archipelago, the world's second-largest archipelago, has appeared on the western side of this route.
As the second largest archipelago in the world after the Malay Archipelago, the Arctic archipelago is not as fragmented as the Malay Archipelago, which is located at the northern tip of the North American continent, and is more famous for its large area of islands.
For example, Baffin Island ranks fifth in the world in terms of area, while Victoria Island to the west of Baffin Island is the eighth largest island in the world, and Yang Jing's first destination on this voyage, Ellesmere Island, is the tenth largest island in the world.
This vast archipelago was originally part of the North American continent, but after the end of the Quaternary glaciation, sea levels rose, causing the islands to separate from the North American continent, forming a large area of fragmented islands on the surface.
The farther north you go, the longer the sun stays in the sky, especially after crossing the Arctic Circle, the sun in the sky is like an unbeatable little powerhouse, and it has been dangling above the horizon, even if it falls below the horizon, it seems that it will reappear in the blink of an eye.
The further north you go, the more powerful this phenomenon becomes, and this is known as the polar day phenomenon.
At the same time, the further north you go, the cooler the temperature becomes, and even though it's the hottest summer season of the year in the south, you still don't see a hint of summer here.
When the Blue Whale sailed out of Davis Strait and into Baffin Bay, the sea was frozen.
In fact, the waters north of Baffin Bay, including the soon-to-be-crossed Smith Strait, were opened to navigation in August and September, and in July the waters were still frozen.
Fortunately, the ice on the sea surface at this time is not thick, and the Blue Whale is an AC1 icebreaker, so it is easy to deal with this kind of ice that is only a few centimeters thick, even if it continues to sail north, at most it will slow down the Blue Whale.
When the Blue Whale sails on this route, it is as close to the center of the route as possible, after all, it has entered the Arctic Circle, especially in summer, and sailing is a more dangerous thing.
Glaciers shed from Greenland or Ellesmere form icebergs that can only be seen slightly, and the currents will make this ship-killer iceberg swim along the coastline, and if a ship encounters it, the fate is tragic.
The famous Titanic was unfortunate enough to encounter these big guys and then sank.
Although the Blue Whale is an icebreaker, it is also respectful of this kind of giant ship killer.
Fortunately, the Blue Whale is a very modern research vessel, and the iceberg radar on board can detect icebergs hidden below sea level from a long distance, thus alerting the captain to avoid it.
By entering the Smith Channel, the speed had dropped from 145 knots to 10 knots, and eventually to 7 knots today.
No way, the ice in the Smith Strait is already twenty centimeters thick, and some rampage icebergs appear from time to time.
Compared to the Davis Strait, which is 300 kilometers at its narrowest point, this strait is simply too narrow.
At its widest point, this narrow strait is only more than 100 kilometers, and in the narrow place, it is less than 30 kilometers.
When sailing in this strait, you have to be careful and careful.
