A group of Alaskan dogs drag you across the vast snowfield. It is with these dogs that you can gallop on the 43-mile snowfield and reach the big ship.
The ship was built in 19 12 and has been modernized, with 10 cabins and a bar. Ships are a good place to avoid polar bears and watch the Northern Lights. Gallo, Norway is a famous ski resort. Besides playing in the snow, you can also enjoy the pure music world with ice and snow as musical instruments. These ice and snow musical instruments must first cut a large piece of ice in the river, then cut it according to the needs of musicians, and then splice it into musical instruments.
Finally, as long as you keep pouring water at the interface, a complete instrument will be completed when it freezes. Although the musical instruments made of ice do not have the timbre of metal instruments, they also bring a very unique visual and auditory experience.

Pieces of foreign small buildings are full of Nordic customs, green lawns and endless blue oceans. But outside the city, there is no farmland and no crops in the mainland.

Along the way, I saw endless mountains, primitive rivers, wasteland similar to Gobi but not Gobi, and roads winding on the earth. Shuttle between highways, as if to another planet. Iceland is a country with many volcanoes and rich geothermal resources, so it has created Iceland's famous hot spring-Blue Lagoon. Many tourists, especially those from Europe, come here to soak in a natural hot spring that is different from the general meaning.
The hot springs in the Blue Lagoon are famous because they are open-air hot springs. Even in snowy winter, tourists can still enjoy warm hot spring baths because there is abundant geothermal energy here. And volcanoes.
