Chapter 435 Mirror Plain, Death Icicles

With the two brothers Goudan and Gousheng leading the way, Yang Lin quickly entered an area with towering ice ridges from the area where the North Pole was located.

From the complex landforms of this area, Yang Lin could imagine how turbulent the tides here were in summer.

Because only when the giant waves of hundreds of meters were instantly frozen by the severe cold could such a spectacular ice ridge landform be formed.

And among these large numbers of ice ridge landforms, a canyon guarded by two ice peaks first appeared in front of Yang Lin.

Due to the direction of the depth of the canyon, even the sunlight could not shine into it.

As soon as he walked in, Yang Lin felt that the temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees, and the oncoming strong wind was like a knife scraping on his face.

But even so, he still chose to move forward.

Because just now Goudan told him with his sensitive sense of smell that he felt the smell of his father here.

That is to say, not long ago, his father also entered this canyon.

After Yang Lin and a group of Inuit had walked hundreds of meters in the canyon, they suddenly felt enlightened.

The scene in front of them was no longer the undulating ice ridges, nor the ice hills that were repeatedly torn and kneaded by the waves, but an absolute plain.

Or it should be called a mirror.

From Yang Lin's perspective, the entire ice surface was smooth without a single wrinkle, and the occasional snowflakes were blown away by the wind in an instant.

The azure ice surface looked so pure that not even a bubble could be seen in the frozen sea water.

When the blue sky was reflected on the ice surface, he could not tell for a moment whether it was the ice or the sky in front of him.

The four words "Mirror of the Sky" popped up in Yang Lin's mind.

After being fascinated, he quickly took out his mobile phone and camera and took a photo each.

It would be a pity if such a beautiful scenery could not be recorded.

After he took the photo, his eyes looked around this special area.

The environment here is so unique that he would never believe it if there were no special influencing factors.

After some research, he finally focused his attention on the ice under his feet.

It is generally difficult to freeze completely transparent ice cubes in the natural environment.

Because there are always various impurities in the water source, and these impurities will hinder the movement of photons in the process of condensing into ice and then show color.

Unless the water source is always in a flowing state.

But the smooth mirror in front of him obviously does not meet this requirement.

Excluding this, there is only one other possibility, which is to use a water pump to pump water from the bottom of the container (because the ice has a low density, it usually floats on the water surface) and circulate it to other places.

In this way, the impurities discharged by the newly formed ice are not easy to enrich, and the temperature of the flowing water is also easy to keep consistent, so that ice can gradually form on the top, and impurities are not sandwiched in the middle, and the ice cubes are transparent.

But this is the Arctic Ocean. How big a water pump is needed to pump the water here.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin immediately looked into the distance.

Five minutes later, a DJ drone brought from the scientific research station was taken down from the sled by him.

This drone worth tens of thousands of dollars, if it weren't for this trip to the Arctic, he would not be willing to buy it.

He turned on the machine and connected the drone's camera to his mobile phone. Soon, the drone slowly took off under Yang Lin's control.

As the drone flew higher and higher, the entire mirror ice field area was soon presented on Yang Lin's mobile phone screen in the form of a wide-angle lens.

Looking at the very regular circular area in front of him, some of Yang Lin's previous speculations were gradually verified.

Just as he was thinking about it, a very conspicuous ice cave appeared a few hundred meters away from him.

According to visual observation, this ice cave is the center point of this special mirror plain.

However, from Yang Lin's point of view, this ice cave is more like the center of a vortex.

It is because of its existence that the seawater in this area is stirred up and becomes what it is now.

"Found it!"

With a hint of excitement on his face, Yang Lin immediately controlled the drone to return.

After the drone was stored away, he immediately led Goudan, Gousheng and a group of animals to the newly discovered ice cave.

As for the Inuit, he arranged them to stay where they were.

Ten minutes later, when Yang Lin carefully led a group of animals to the ice cave, the dark and bottomless ice cave in front of him immediately gave him a creepy feeling.

With just one glance, he roughly determined the reason for the formation of this ice cave.

Death ice pillars, a natural phenomenon unique to the North and South Poles of the blue planet.

When the temperature at the North and South Poles drops to dozens of degrees below zero, the salt in the seawater is precipitated, frozen, and extends to the seabed in a column shape.

Wherever the ice pillars go, marine life is frozen to death. This natural phenomenon is called death ice pillars.

To be more precise, due to the simultaneous occurrence of the seabed vortex here, the condensed ice pillars have become hollow ice pillars that reach the seabed.

The probability of these two magical natural phenomena encountering each other is less than one in a million.

"They won't go down from here." Yang Lin had a bad guess as he looked at it.

As soon as this guess came up, the dogs next to the ice cave started barking wildly.

When they barked, Yang Lin knew that he had guessed right.

"How dare they do that?" He sighed helplessly and prepared to go deeper into the ice cave.

There was no way, because the people inside were his own parents.

And he had a hunch that there might be other secrets hidden under this ice cave.

After so many adventures, this was the first time that Yang Lin felt so uncertain.

For this reason, he also brought everything that might be used down there.

Light source, power supply, emergency food, medicine, oxygen, and even a detonator given to it by the staff of the scientific research station.

After bringing all the supplies, Yang Lin looked at the animals around him again.

To be precise, it was the Arctic fox that had awakened the talent of good luck.

"I'll just take you with me this time. I hope you can bring me good luck."

After saying this, Yang Lin tied the little guy in front of him with the backpack buckle.

"OK, I shouldn't need anything this time."

"Get ready!"

After pumping himself up, Yang Lin walked towards the edge of the ice cave.

He took a deep breath and turned on the sports camera above his head.

The next second he closed his eyes and took a light step forward.

The moment his foot stepped on the air, his back touched a layer of ice, and then he felt like he was riding a slide.

After a scream, Yang Lin disappeared in this mirror plain.
