When starting from London, it rained heavily, and the plane arrived in Helsinki, Finland, although the sun was low and the temperature was 20 degrees lower, the mood was cheerful under the sun.

Take the Polar Express ice field train, one night, more than 7 a.m. to reach the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi, the temperature is 10 degrees lower, the cold air is more transparent.

Finland has 188,000 lakes, and all the way to Kemi Snow World, the flat land covered with thick snow, does not know whether it is a lake or a meadow.

Kemi Snow Castle is very, very small, compared to Harbin Ice and Snow World, just like a corner of the children's playground in the community. The salmon at Ice and Snow is delicious.

Here is the real world of ice and snow, small snowflakes are hexagonal, simple hexagonal, complex hexagonal. Although the snowflakes were small, with diamond-like facets, they shone like little stars in the sunlight.

The ride on the Samp ice breaker is the highlight of the day.

When we reached the shore, the sky and the earth were one color, and the sea was an extension of the snow, and we saw two big ships parked in the snow. When a ship is sailing in the sea, if it does not listen to the sound of broken ice hitting the ship, it is like sliding on snow. The bow again and again slowly hit the thick sea ice, the huge ice cracked, issued a "click, click" sound, the ship retreated, the ice broke instantaneously.

There is a tour guide on the ship, the first time riding the icebreaker is really a new experience, patting around the deck, quite shocking.

Then is the ice floating, according to the different color of the bracelet ice floating, to wear a special "lobster suit", mouth there will be very tight, do not worry about the problem of leakage, finally drifted too far by the staff with a life buoy pulled ashore, ashore after the staff also said to me a "you are safe now", in short, quite interesting, Because usually do not exercise, the next day there is sour waist abdomen.

After floating and changing clothes, you can get off the boat and take photos on the ice, and get a certificate at the end of the trip.

• More than 20 °C weather, take a few photos on the deck, hands on the cold red. See an Oriental face of the big brother, has been wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, admire him.

The Samp left the sea for half an hour, stopped, and began ice snorkeling activities. Dark sea fog, visitors lying in the sea, really like cooked lobster, put on a special orange body body life jacket, clothes are tied with a layer of ice, with the help of the staff, from the ice to the gouge of the sea, face up, floating on the water, you can paddle with your hand. Although I saw that everyone had a good time, but with the fear of the unknown, I felt that my right foot was very cold after entering the water, and I went ashore early on the excuse.
