Chapter 1164: Snow and ice (5/5)

Wang Bo has the same meaning. Alaska is not a fun place. This season is the coldest time of the year. The temperature is -20 degrees Celsius just like playing.
Eva didn't insist, she said, "I won't go with you this time, my dear, you need to take care of yourself there."
Wang Bo patted his chest and said, "You can rest assured, you don't know your man and me? If there is danger, I will be the first to run."
Little Rory said, "Brother-in-law, take me, I will take care of you for my sister."
Elementary school will be closed. Little Loli is really fine, but Pharaoh refuses to take her out because she is afraid of something wrong.
Eva said: "Bring Daier, she was born in the snow and ice, and she has such a thick skin, presumably the skin in other places is also very thick and can't freeze her."
She likes the little girl to go out and take a look more often. Girls are rich, but not to say that they are rich and rich, but to open up their horizons and enrich the spiritual world, so that it will not be easy for people to set foot in society in the future. Deceive, be played with.
If she had been said to be thick-skinned in the past, Little Loli must have some theory. This time she accepted the statement very honestly and nodded: "Yeah, yeah, Daer is thick-skinned, and Daer is very cold-resistant!"
Wang Bo gave her a light brain burst and said, "But after you go, you must be obedient, otherwise I will throw it there and not bring it back."
Little Lori swears in various ways that God, Bodhisattva, Buddha, Mantian deity, and the Nordic gods have all been moved out.
In this way, the two embarked on a journey with two dogs, two fat cats, and a fat snow fox.
The plane flew from Wellington to the Peruvian capital, Lima. After stopping in Lima, it flew to Seattle, USA, and then stopped again before flying to Juneau, Alaska's capital city.
Alaska is located at the northwestern tip of the North American continent, bordering Canada on the east, and the Arctic Ocean, the Bering Sea, and the North Pacific on three sides.
The state has 17 of the 20 highest mountains in the United States, and the 6,194-meter Mount McKinley is the highest peak in North America. Most of the world's active glaciers are in Azhou, and the largest Maraspina glacier basin covers an area of ​​5,703 square kilometers.
The area of ​​this state is 1.71 million square kilometers and once belonged to the Russians.
After the Crimean War broke out in 1853, Russia feared that the Alaskan colony would be taken by Britain, and proposed to sell Alaska to the United States. In April 1867, the two sides sold for $ 7.2 million.
In other words, the Russians sold the land to Americans for four dollars a square kilometer at that time, so the Russian tsarist government always has something to say when it comes to the world's super-prodigal.
When it comes to Alaska, people remember that it is snow, ice, and cold winds. In fact, this land is extremely vast, with a temperate climate in the southeast and southwest, and the annual temperature is about 0c to 15c, which is not very cold.
Its inland has a continental climate, which can reach 26c during extreme daytime in summer and -15c during extreme nighttime in winter. The real cold is in the Arctic Circle, which is the polar climate, and the temperature is below zero throughout the year, and it is normal for minus 40-50 degrees.
Iditarod is a route, not the name of a region. At first, this was the supply road that connected the seaside villages and inland mining camps. Various mail and supplies were imported into the inland at the same time, and the gold mine was continuously transported out. .
At that time, all these tasks were done by sled dogs, so sled dogs have always had an extraordinary status in this area.
In 1925, the sled dog ushered in a glorious moment, when diphtheria was raging, and only 1,400 people in the town of Nome were in critical condition, so they asked Anchorage for help.
At that time, in addition to the diphtheria virus raging in the Nome area, there were continuous snowstorms. In that era, small planes using open-air seats could not take off and land and cruise accurately.
In a hurry, the governor of Alaska decided to use a team of 20 dogs to haul the serum to Nome. On January 26, 1925, the anti-diphtheria serum was transported by rail to Ninana, west of Fairbanks. On the night of January 27, 1925, the first dog sled team set off.
That transport line is near 64 degrees north latitude, and it is a very polar night each year. Most of the sections are carried out at night, the temperature is below minus 35 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature is as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius.
At dawn on February 2, 1925, the first batch of serum was delivered to Nome. The 1,125 km journey took 127 hours, less than 5 days and 5 hours!
Now the competition is just to commemorate the great rescue of human nature in history. The competition route is not the same as it was then. After all, the competition is really under the temperature of minus thirty to forty degrees, neither human nor dog can stand.
A lot of related competitions were introduced, but what was rarely introduced was that at that time in order to rescue the town of Nome, many sled dogs died on that route, mainly tiring ...
Today's events are held, not for life, so everything is the same except for the same length.
After landing at Juneau International Airport, they will also take a car to downtown Anchorage, the starting point of the game is the largest city in Alaska.
Little Rory didn't understand, and asked, "Since we started the game from Anchorage, why don't we land there? Anchorage also has an airport, and we studied geography."
Wang Bo said: "Because Anchorage is like the town of Nome in 1925, this will encounter a snowstorm and the plane will not land, so we have to drive over from land."
They were in a bus, and dog seats were opened in the car. Many people brought dogs in the car.
This is a local feature. Dog sledding is an important means of transportation, but it is definitely more convenient and comfortable to take a car when there is a car.
But dogs cannot be thrown away at this time, so the buses have set up special seats for the dogs, that is, cages inlaid in the back.
The bus was slowly moving forward against the snow and snow, and wherever it came in, it was snow.
Little Loli looked at the window for a while, and Wang Bo pulled her back. After a long time, she would get snow blindness, which hurts the eyes.
The little white fox and the fat cat brother have been lying on the window and looking out, watching the whistling ice and snow that is full of interest, they look down and despise little loli: humans are really fragile, and they will be blind when looking at a snow scene.
After a hard day's trek, at night, the bus finally entered Anchorage.
This is a very large city, covering an area of ​​5,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 300,000. But when they entered at night, Wang Bo thought he was in the wilderness. How could there be any people? !! (To be continued.)
