Global Food Tour

Chapter 271 The strong wind stopped suddenly, the thick clouds rushed away, and the stars became a piece!

There are tiny air bubbles in glacier ice, through which long-wavelength red-orange light can penetrate, while short-wavelength blue light is scattered, so old glacier ice appears blue.

The ice stripped from Vatnajökull glides slowly across the glacial lagoon, stopping on the black sand beach and falling into the sea.It has taken thousands of years for a heavy snowfall in ancient times to turn into a piece of clear blue ice. At the moment when the white waves meet the black sand, and when the blue ice is penetrated by the sun, it turns into water again. Back to the sea, waiting for the next reincarnation.

Playing with the ice, it is rare to see completely pure ice here. Of course, this purity is only visible to the naked eye. As for anyone who is entangled in the microscope, it may only be an idiot or a scientist.

[Anchor, tell me what you have seen and heard! 】

[I just didn't see it live! 】

[Jet lag is really annoying! 】

……

"Then let me tell you?"

[Say it, who will say it if you don't? 】

[Is the anchor stupid? Touch your head! 】

……

"Speaking of which... Iceland is actually a really cute place.

For example, Icelanders believe in the existence of elves, they believe that their lives are full of supernatural phenomena, they believe in dream prophecies, and they believe in the theory of spirits.Since people settled in Iceland 1000 years ago, they have called elves, dwarves, mandrills and light spirits "invisible inhabitants". "Invisible inhabitants" are also collectively referred to as elves.Icelanders believe that elves are the "natives" of the land.Don't think that this is short-sighted feudal superstition. Iceland is one of the most educated countries in the world.

Not only do they like elves, they even jointly established an elf school (álfaskólinn) for the study and dissemination of elf culture.This elf school is located in the capital Reykjavik.The school has a complete curriculum and compiled books on the Invisible Dwellers, and provides a certificate of study upon completion.The principal is Magnus Skarphedinsson, a professor of history and anthropology at the University of Iceland.He once spent 38 years studying elf culture with great concentration, traveled all over Iceland and even around the world, and communicated with 800 Icelanders who had direct contact with elves. He is a super elf control.

The principal said that those invisible residents such as trolls and dwarves look about the same size as humans, and they look the same, but most people can't see them.But the elves are only a bit human-like, only a little over 8 centimeters tall.

Elves like to live in crevices of rocks, under big trees or in fields, and they will come out for a walk in the dead of night.

Elves never harm anyone, but if someone violates them, they will also be retaliated by the elves.

Sites for construction work need to be carefully considered to avoid damaging rocks that might be home to elves.

Before building bridges and roads to change the natural environment, Icelanders usually ask psychics to ask the opinions of elves.

Also, according to Icelandic folklore, stones cannot be thrown around in Iceland, lest they hurt these invisible residents. "

"Let's talk about festivals related to elves, these are the materials I read.

Four of the Icelandic holidays are related to elves: New Year's Eve, Trettándinn (Night No. 1 on January 6), Midsummer Elves' Night and Christmas.

Before Christmas, Icelanders usually clean up the house and leave some food for the elves.On New Year's Eve, the elves will move to a new place to live, so many Icelanders will light a candle in front of the door or window to help the elves find their way.

On the night of No.12 in the near future, the elf bonfire (álfabrennur) will be the highlight.The children dressed up as elves and sang hand in hand around the elf bonfire.Icelanders who are usually taciturn are particularly cheerful and talkative at this time, as if they were bewitched. People chat and laugh happily. It is said that you can predict the future from the friends you meet around the elves' campfire.

When it comes to the Midsummer Elf Night, there is a saying: Don’t sit at the crossroads casually, because the elves will tempt you with food and gifts. If you cannot resist the temptation, the consequences will be disastrous; but if you successfully resist the temptation, you will gain Great return for elves. "

"The elf house is not easy to find. What you often pass by along the way are small colorful houses and chapels. The climate in Iceland is changeable and the landform is not suitable for planting farmland. People face all this with a very optimistic attitude. They put My houses are painted colorful, like a fairy tale world. Yes, everything that happened in Iceland is like a fairy tale. Only those who believe in the stories can truly live in the stories.”

"I'll show you on the road later!" Zhang Feng took out the dry food and started eating it. He felt very hungry during a live broadcast in a place like this.

[I feel sorry for the anchor, what do you eat? 】

[Like a mystery...]

……

"Eat whatever you want, there is only faith in heaven and no material desires." Zhang Feng's words made everyone laugh.

In the back, I saw elves of various colors along the way, some of which looked a bit like mobile houses. Of course, they have decent roofs, which are not very special, but seeing such houses will always make my heart feel less lonely. How many points.

Staggering, Zhang Feng has another Icelandic landmark that must be covered by Straw Hat Mountain.

Kirkjufell is located near the small town of Grundarfjordur in Iceland, on the Snaefellsnes peninsula.Its name translated into English is 'Church Mountain', (Church Mountain) perhaps its shape reminds people of a church tower. Kirkjufell is an independent mountain with beautiful shape and symmetry. Some people say it is Straw Hat Mountain, because it looks like a straw hat from some angles, so Kirkjufell is also called Straw Hat Mountain and Church Mountain.

Not far from the Church Hill Highway, there is a small waterfall named Church Hill Waterfall (Kirkijufellsfoss).The picturesque scenery of the waterfall echoes the front and back of Church Hill, and it is a favorite of photographers all year round.

But the good times didn't last long. The changeable weather began to be violent and stormy. Zhang Feng thought that the rain would pass soon, but after that, all he saw when he opened his eyes was thick clouds and heavy rain. In seconds, the car was driving on the road, and the body became very light and wobbly, as if it could take off at any time.For the sake of safety, I cook and read in the kitchen of the hotel where I live, and it is windy and rainy outside the window.

In the strong wind, Zhang Feng still insisted on walking around the town, which was deserted.Go to the supermarket and buy enough ingredients to cook at home.Cook noodles and roast chicken legs, sit and watch the wind and rain outside the window.

Small days are back to normal, and super laid back, even if you can't go out for too long.

In the evening, I saw fish-like clouds in the sky, the chapel and Church Hill in the distance, and it was very emotional.

The day before he left, Zhang Feng saw the erupting aurora again.It was very strange, at nine o'clock in the night, the strong wind suddenly stopped, the thick clouds rushed away, and the stars appeared in patches, as if receiving some kind of instructions, Zhang Feng immediately ran out with the camera, and the aurora erupted quietly in front of his eyes. Pink, purple, green, I want to lie down on the ground and watch it dance quietly.

In just one hour, thick clouds covered the sky and the sun again.The wind was howling and I slept with my camera in my arms all night. The photos inside were like a brilliant dream.
