In addition to penguins, everyone also saw seals along the way. They were lying comfortably on the ice, as if they were resting. Through the drone, everyone could see that these seals had some scars on them.

Yuan Fei, who knows a lot about Antarctica, told everyone that seals are distributed almost all over the world, and they seem to be found in the cold North and South Poles or in some warm and tropical waters.

However, most seals live in Antarctica, accounting for 90%. Like penguins, they are natives of Antarctica.

And, as we all know, seals prey on penguins.

Seals in the Antarctic region are mainly distributed along the coast of the Antarctic continent, floating ice areas and waters around certain islands. They are protected animals by Antarctic Treaty and are not allowed to be hunted.

This creature moves slowly and clumsy on land and ice. It seems very difficult to move their bodies when they move, but they become particularly flexible when they enter the sea.

Maybe he noticed the drone. A seal opened his eyes lazily and looked at the drone in surprise. Seeing that the drone did not hurt it, he ignored it and used his "hand" to catch it.

Only when the drone left, it opened its "claws" and waved it, as if it was saying hello and farewell.

Xiao Hai and the others did not disturb the wild animals along the way too much.

The icebreaker traveled through the ice for most of the day. At this time, they had penetrated into the floating ice area. At present, what they could see was still a vast white area.

"Be careful, don't always stare at the ice, as your eyes are prone to problems." Someone on the boat reminded the people around you.

"What are you afraid of? Put on your sunglasses later and you'll have nothing to do."

Northerners generally know this common sense. If you stare at the ice and snow for a long time, you will easily get snow blindness.

The reflectivity of snow to sunlight is extremely high, reaching nearly 95%. Looking directly at the snow is like looking directly at the sunlight. Because this symptom often occurs on mountain climbing, snow and polar explorers, it is called snow blindness.

If you suffer from snow blindness, you don’t need to be too nervous. Generally, after a few days of rest, your eyesight will recover by yourself.

However, if you suffer from snow blindness again, the symptoms will become bad, so you must not be careless. Multiple snow blindness gradually leads to vision deficiency, causing long-term eye diseases, and even permanent blindness in severe cases.

It is precisely because of these common sense that when I went out to play, many people brought their own sunglasses.

After all, it is rare to come to Antarctica for a trip. Before coming, everyone did their homework and prepared for anything they needed to bring.

At this moment, Uncle Zheng, the captain of the icebreaker, informed Xiao Hai that there were two people about five kilometers ahead, and they seemed to be lost and injured. I am afraid they would not last long.

Antarctica is a truly vast and sparsely populated place, and the environment is still very harsh. Once you get lost, it will definitely be miserable.

"People?" Yuan Hua immediately became serious.

Because he learned about a news that a three-person German scientific examination team went out for scientific examination activities and lost contact in the past two days.

For this reason, some scientific research stations have also mobilized their forces to help find them.

Maybe, the two people in front are the missing European scientific research team. As for why the two people are left, they may have encountered an accident?

In Antarctica, the weather is also changing, and it would be a terrifying thing if you encounter a storm.

Yuan Hua immediately told Xiao Hai about this. If it is really the scientific research team that has lost contact, you can save it if you can!

"The drone has flew over and you will be able to see it soon." Xiao Hai said.

In fact, no matter whether it is a missing scientific researcher or not, Xiao Hai will also rescue him. Anyway, it is just a simple task.

Mark regretted that he shouldn't have listened to Rolf's words and walked too far away and left the original scientific expedition route. Now, Rolf fell into the water because he stepped on thin ice. Although he and Brita were rescued from behind and finally rescued the person, Rolf couldn't hold on until he could. He closed his eyes more than ten hours ago.

Because of saving Rolf, he and Brita were also touched by water. In addition, they encountered ice collapse and were injured. If the two of them continued like this, they would probably follow in Rolf's footsteps.

What makes people even more desperate is that the communication equipment has also fallen into the sea, and they have seriously deviated from the original planned route. Even if the scientific research station knows that something happened to them, it will be very difficult to rescue them.

"Mark, I really can't walk anymore, you can go by yourself! Don't worry about me." As a woman, Brita, she has long lost the strength, and Mark has been helping her walk around during this period.

Moreover, she felt that one of her legs was completely out of consciousness and might have been broken.

Now she is cold and hungry, which seriously drags down Mark. She is already very grateful to Mark for being able to persevere until now and never give up on her. She feels like she is about to die, so she doesn't want to drag down Mark anymore.

"Brita, insist, don't close your eyes. In this area, there is China's Zhongshan Station. As long as we go, we will be saved. Never..."

Mark looked anxious. As a colleague, he worked with Brita for a long time, and was in an Antarctic place where birds do not shit. He had a good impression of Brita, and he fell in love with Brita, who was a woman.

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw a drone flying over and was immediately overjoyed.

"Brita, don't sleep, wake up, we're saved," he yelled.

At this time, the plane was also making a sound. Although he couldn't understand the content, Mark knew that it was in Chinese and the owner of the plane was Chinese.

Brita also barely cheered up and almost cried. But she couldn't cry. It was not good to cry at this temperature, and tears could make you ice.

After a while, an icebreaker appeared in the distance. The distance was too far and I couldn't see it very clearly, but Mark laughed so happily that he kept helping to rub Brita's stiff face.

The icebreaker was not moving fast during the icebreaking period, so Xiao Hai directly dispatched the helicopter on the icebreaking ship.

So Mark and the others soon heard the sound of the helicopter, and became more energetic, raised their hands and kept waving to attract the attention of the helicopter.

Sure enough, the two Chinese people came down from the helicopter and said hello, without saying a word, immediately helped lift Brita onto the helicopter and flew back to the icebreaker.

After boarding the ship, they were immediately sent to the Icebreaker's medical room for treatment.

During this period, Mark kept thanking him in Chinese. In fact, he only said "thank you" and "eat" and other very commonly used Chinese words.

Fortunately, Yuan Hua knew German and could communicate briefly, introduce to Mark the owner of the icebreaker, Xiao Hai, and explain that it was Xiao Hai's equipment on the icebreaker that discovered them.

"Haha! You're welcome! It's also your luck. Don't worry. I asked the doctor just now. Although your female teammate's legs can still be saved, it may take a long recovery time.

Now, do you want to contact your national scientific expedition team? It is said that they have been looking for you in the past two or three days." Xiao Hai handed him a satellite phone number.

Mark thanked him again, took Xiao Hai's satellite phone number and called the people at his scientific research station to report their safety. He did not hide it, and briefly talked about his experience and the bad news about Rolf. Next, they will go to Zhongshan Station in China and ask their teammates to pick them up at the scientific research station in China.

As for Rolf's body, they buried it in the snow. The specific location can only be discussed later.
