格陵兰的冰和雪
一年四季皆有美景。春之美在于其勃勃生机;夏之美在于其热烈奔放;秋之美在于其宁静闲适;而冬之美就在于其冷艳之冰雪了。格陵兰冰雪之美是异乎寻常的,因为它经过了时间的雕琢……
Greenland offers adventures of ice and snow like nowhere else on this planet. The ice cap —— up to three kilometers thick —— covers an area 14 times the size of England, and icebergs snap off the glaciers at the edges of the ice cap.
* adventure:通常指“冒险活动”、“冒险经历”等意思,在这里则是“激动人心的活动”、“异乎寻常的经历”的意思。格陵兰有世界上最奇妙的冰雪,因而置身其中一定有一种激动且不寻常的感觉。
* snap off:“折断”、“发射”等意思,本文是前一种意思,说明了冰山的形成过程——极地厚厚的冰盖边缘的冰川断裂就形成了冰山。
* glaciers:“冰川”、“冰河”等意思。
You'll experience icebergs almost everywhere in Greenland. In the Disko Bay, icebergs often rise up to 100 meters above the waterline —— keep in mind that 90 percent of an iceberg is hidden below the surface of the sea. The world's most active glacier at Ilulissat moves 25-30 meters a day and calves across a front 10 kilometers in width. Visiting the ice cap is possible from most towns in Greenland, although it usually takes a helicopter flight or a boat trip to reach the edge of the inland ice. In Kangerlussuaq the ice cap is only 20 kilometers away and you can hike, drive, fly or mountain bike to there —— and stay overnight if you bring a tent.
