Chapter 259 Iceland Iceland, Let Me Soak First! [Ask for a monthly ticket at the end of the month]

After finishing his trip to South Africa and writing an article, his finger landed on a "region" on the map, and after three days of quiet study, Zhang Feng embarked on an unexpected journey.

I took the plane, killed Europe from Africa, then went to Europe, and transferred to Iceland, a place that has not yet been "founded".

Why is Iceland called Iceland?

Iceland, the name of the country, has different origins.

Judging from the Chinese name Iceland and the English name Iceland, Iceland is a place covered with ice and snow, which must be very cold, but in fact Iceland is rich in geothermal resources and the climate is not cold.Reminiscent of Greenland, another Arctic island, Greenland, it is strange that the Chinese here is a transliteration rather than a free translation, meaning the green land, which is the world of ice and snow, with a harsh environment.

So there is a legend that in the [-]th century AD, the first Vikings who discovered and settled in Iceland deliberately named this beautiful land Iceland, so that people would come back after hearing it, and at the same time named the real bad land Greenland. Island (Green Island) to lure others and thus occupy Iceland for a long time.

It is difficult to verify the authenticity of this claim, but other, more academic and well-documented claims are equally difficult to ascertain.

Some people claim that Irish monks who love to explore discovered Iceland 300 years earlier than the Vikings. They were shocked by her beauty, knelt down and declared the place sacred, and named it after the Lord's name Jesus ís(s)u.Within a century of the Scandinavian immigration to Iceland, Irish monks were scholars and teachers to kings on the continent, so they were able to spread the name of the island far and wide.And according to the French and German names of Iceland, Islande and Island, it really has nothing to do with ice or cold.

However, the reality is that when foreigners mention Iceland, the country covered with ice and snow will always appear in their minds.

In 2012, in order to stimulate Iceland's tourism industry, Iceland, which suffered from financial crisis, bank failure, volcanic eruption and national bankruptcy, solicited names from foreign tourists and planned to change the country's name.Although many foreign media interpreted this move as Iceland asking for a name change for "transshipment", it was actually just an interesting event.

The tourists have cited the names they think are the most appropriate——

Heat island hotland (with geothermal)

Land of ice and fire (Realist ice and fire fans may also be Jin Yong fans)
Magic Island Wonder Land (really feel magical)

The above is pretty reliable, in addition,
Endless Night Land (Winter Heartless Sleep)
Cool sweater island Awesome Jumper Land (Icelandic handmade sweater seller show)

Best Country to Grow a Beard Land (Look at the Icelandic Football Team)
……

However, the naming controversy has also made Iceland's reputation popular again. After all, it is quite attractive for a "country" to do this.

Speaking of Iceland, Zhang Feng still has an interesting past. The first time he knew about Iceland was in the movie "Daydreamer", and he knew that there is another country in the world named Iceland! !Since then, Iceland has become Zhang Feng's dream land. In 2015, when 13 million of China's 8 billion people were trading in stocks, Zhang Feng also became one of the 8 million people. On June 6st, Zhang Feng told himself that he would set off after earning enough to go to Iceland. On June 1th, Zhang Feng’s savings for many years evaporated instantly. Zhang Feng, who was still a student, actually didn’t have much savings.

Zhang Feng was frustrated, regretful, annoyed, full of panic about the future, and his dream of Iceland was stranded. Just when Zhang Feng was struggling with the rise and fall of stocks every day, and was miserable, he accidentally saw "Daydreaming" playing on the TV. Home" had an instant epiphany.

Many times, the failure in life is not because of failure to achieve, but because of missing the best time to enjoy.Many times people blindly regret what they have lost, but they are unwilling to enjoy what they have now.

If a person is doomed to experience ups and downs, to face birth, old age, sickness and death, Zhang Feng thinks again, he is powerless to change these, then why bother to struggle, afraid of these things that everyone will experience, when I can jump, why should I Choose to crawl on the ground, when you don't need to worry about your children's learning and the health of your parents, why do you have to worry about things you don't know in the future, or things you can't change.Don't be a daydreamer yourself, just want to be a person who lives in the present and has a free soul.

The point is, in the end Zhang Feng still didn't leave at that time, the bank back then gave him a hand, Zhang Feng remembered now, and laughed at himself for a long time.

After packing everything up, Zhang Feng finally set off and started his trip to Iceland. Air tickets to Iceland are also extremely hard to find and expensive. It is very necessary to book an air ticket to Iceland in advance.

Transferred and arrived in Iceland. The Icelandic airport is very small, but you can see the famous billboard of the blue lagoon as soon as you get out of the cabin. Walk along the billboard for 500 meters and you will arrive at the exit. From the perspective of our heavenly people Look, this is the scale of a long-distance bus station.

Zhang Feng did not expect that there would be such a simple airport in the world, even simpler than the so-called airport in Bhutan.

Blue Lagoon (Blue Lagoon Hot Spring) is one of the top ten most famous hot spring resorts in the world.The Blue Lagoon geothermal hot spring is located in the southwest of Iceland, about 39 kilometers away from the capital Reykjavik. The location of the Blue Lagoon is one of the most frequent underground magma activities on earth. This activity heats the Blue Lagoon and makes the water transpiration.endowed it with a unique charm.Because it is not far from Reykjavik International Airport, many tourists who pass by Leishi take advantage of the few hours of their transit time to take a special trip to the Blue Lagoon to experience the famous volcanic hot springs.

Iceland has a maritime climate, close to the Arctic Circle.The highest temperature in summer is only 10 degrees, basically around 7-5 degrees. The Blue Lagoon hot spring is sea water, and the hot spring water is pink blue. It belongs to the outdoor development type hot spring. You must wear a swimsuit to enter the water. There are some hot springs comparable to the Dead Sea. The hot spring white mud is something that everyone who goes to the Blue Lagoon must try. Soak in the hot springs and drink a glass of champagne or beer, lie on the water and look at the blue sky and white clouds, and look at the sea. What could be more healing than this? Tie.

If you have plenty of time, you can soak from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. When you are tired, you can go ashore to the restaurant to have something to eat, or you can lie down on a bench in the rest area to bask in the sun, take a nap or watch various Handsome guys and beauties with different skin colors show off their figures in bikinis and shorts, which is a different kind of enjoyment.

Although Zhang Feng didn't soak in the water for so long, he watched all kinds of beauties on the bench all afternoon, but in order to ensure the privacy of others, Zhang Feng chose not to live broadcast, and only took pictures of passing beauties. Will politely ask in advance if it is ok.

With white teeth, an enviable complexion, and a looming figure, Zhang Feng is still very popular, especially after leaving South Africa because after completing the mission, he got something to improve his temperament. Zhang Feng's current personal charm is quite High, received a lot of favor.
