When it comes to Australia, what comes to mind first? It's a wasteland that stretches thousands of miles inland, or a scary poisonous insect ant scorpion. What impressed Xiaobian most during this trip to Australia is the magnificent scene of the Great Barrier Reef. Located in the southern hemisphere, the Great Barrier Reef runs through the northeast coast of Australia, with a total length of 211 kilometers and an area of more than 2, square kilometers, which is almost equivalent to a Hunan province. However, the reason for such a spectacular scene is actually corals with only a few millimeters.
The fundamental reason for the formation of the Great Barrier Reef is the unique water quality. The water quality here is particularly pure. When Xiaobian looks down from the shore, it is extremely clear. In the past tens of millions of years, corals have been secreting calcareous bones, which are attached to the seabed along with other substances. It took tens of millions of years to form the present scene.
how can you not go snorkeling when you come to the Great Barrier Reef? With great excitement, Xiaobian and his party dressed neatly and started a snorkeling trip. This snorkeling trip has opened Xiaobian's eyes. There are countless beautiful creatures on this seabed. All kinds of fish compete with each other. The fish here swim freely and freely. The existence of human beings seems to have no effect on them at all.
It is worth mentioning that this underwater diving is the first time for Xiaobian to dive. At first, I couldn't control my body at the bottom of the sea, but I could only float with the sea water, but then I slowly learned to control myself, and finally I learned that I can fly freely with fish in the water, and I simply don't want to be too happy.
However, even such a huge Great Barrier Reef can't escape the nightmare of destruction. Due to climate change and the increase of human activities, the Great Barrier Reef is slowly heading for destruction, or it will disappear completely in the future. Since 198, only 8% of the Great Barrier Reef has remained in a short period of time. Experts once pointed out that only by reducing the emission of carbon dioxide can the Great Barrier Reef stop decreasing, otherwise it will disappear from human vision one day.
In addition to diving, you can also take a one-day tour on the Great Barrier Reef on the Cairns Magic Reef. Most of the things on this yacht are free, and Xiaobian can enjoy it here. There is not only a seafood buffet, but also a variety of exquisite cakes, watching the scenery outside the window and eating delicious food. It's really pleasant to swim on the Great Barrier Reef!
