059 Rio

After that pirate attack, the San Marino moved forward safely without encountering any troubles. It only takes a little more than a day to sail at this speed to reach the dangerous corridor Drake Strait. Although it is safe to pass through the Strait of Magellan

Many, but the San Marino cruise ship has a deep draft, and the water depth of the Strait of Magellan cannot meet the needs of the San Marino. The Drake Strait is located between the southern tip of South America and the South Shetland Islands, with a total length of about 300 kilometers and a width of about

It is about 900 kilometers long, with an average water depth of 3,400 meters, and the deepest reaches more than 5,200 meters. The Drake Strait is the widest strait in the world, and it is also the deepest strait in the world. Even if the two Huashan Mountains and

A Hengshan Mountain is stacked in the strait, and even the top of the mountain will not be exposed to the sea. The surface water is rich in phosphates, nitrates and silicates, increasing from north to south. It is known to be rich in nutrients in the world, which is beneficial to life.

One of the sea areas where it grows. In fact, the first time to pass through this strait was the Flemish expedition led by Scotton in 1615. The British navigator Drake only reached Tierra del Fuego through the Strait of Magellan. The water in the strait ranges from

The Pacific Ocean flows into the Atlantic Ocean and is a component of the Antarctic Gyre, the world's largest flow. The surface water temperature ranges from six degrees Celsius in the north to minus one degree in the south. The seawater temperature changes significantly especially at 60 degrees south latitude. This area is called

The Antarctic Convergence Zone or polar front is the boundary between the subpolar surface water and the colder Antarctic surface water. The Drake Strait is an important passage from all over the world to Antarctica. Due to the influence of polar cyclones, there are often strong winds in the strait.

The waves sometimes reach a height of ten or twenty meters. Icebergs that have slipped from the Antarctic often float in the strait, which makes navigation difficult. Before the Panama Canal was opened to navigation, the Drake Strait was very important to the 19th and 20th centuries.

It played an important role in trade in the early 20th century. Due to the emergence of giant oil tankers and the increasing congestion of the Panama Canal, the Drake Strait may once again become an important waterway. After the opening of the Panama Canal, the role of the Drake Strait transport channel has gradually declined.

However, as the Antarctic continent becomes more and more important to the future survival and development of mankind, countries around the world are paying more and more attention to Antarctica, and they have gone to Antarctica for scientific investigation and exploration. The Drake Strait, a passage from Antarctica

The shortest sea route from the Americas to Antarctica, and the only way for many countries to go to Antarctica for scientific research, has therefore been given new strategic significance. It can be predicted that as humans deepen scientific research and development of the Antarctic continent, the strategic position of the Drake Strait will also increase.

It will definitely be further improved. The air pressure difference on both sides of the Drake Strait is 12 millibars, which promotes the north-south exchange of dry and cold air from the Antarctic continent and the relatively humid and warm airflow of the American continent. The Drake Strait is famous for its violent waves.

In the world, because the Pacific and Atlantic meet here, and it is at a high latitude in the southern hemisphere, storms dominate the Drake Strait. All the hurricanes and waves from the Pacific and Atlantic seem to gather in the strait, and the winds are strong every day of the year.

Level eight or above. Even a giant ship of 10,000 tons is shaken like a leaf in the rough sea. This strait, where the wind roars all year round, has allowed countless ships to capsize to the bottom of the sea in history. Therefore, the Drake Strait is called

Known as the "murderous westerly belt", "storm corridor" and "devil's strait", it is a veritable "corridor of death". Fortunately, it is summer in the southern hemisphere and there is no ice on the sea. The San Marino cruise ship has been bumpy for more than a day.

After a while, the ship passed the Drake Passage smoothly. After that, the San Marino headed north along the western coastline of the South American continent to its destination—Rio.

When the San Marino was still far away from the port of Rio, everyone could already see the most legendary and huge statue of Jesus in Rio. The statue of Jesus in Rio is known as one of the seven wonders of the world and stands in Corcovado.

The top of the mountain. The President of Brazil and a group of national executives paid official state visits to Rio and Angela. Hu Bin was not interested in these national-level matters, so he did not pay much attention to them. After the state visit was completed, An

Kira can still stay in Rio for one day. Then she will follow the San Marino to Baltimore. Rio is a very strange place. Because of Brazil's special historical process, it is full of all kinds of disputes and contradictions. But in the long history

As time goes by, these contradictions gradually become a part of life. The life attitude of Rio people is like this: leisurely, lazy, and contented. Indeed, in a city as blessed as Rio, food, beauties, beautiful scenery, the best

With everything at your fingertips, what more could you ask for? But if that’s all you understand about Rio, maybe you’re missing the most profound thing about Rio. A Brazilian says, “God took six days to create

The world, Rio de Janeiro was created on the seventh day." Rio, which took God a whole day, is not a wooden beauty with a beautiful appearance and an empty mind. Under its infinitely charming appearance, there is another kind of complexity flowing. The sidewalks of Rio's beaches are

Paved with black and white stones, the two most contrasting colors are placed together directly without any modification or transition. This is the way of Rio. Moderation is not welcome, only moderation is welcome.

Accept the collision of the two poles. What is interesting is that the result of this collision is not that one side destroys or overwhelms the other. Instead, the two sides are stuck together, unable to separate or get together. Rio has a population of more than 10 million

Halfway up the mountainside where rich people gather, penniless homeless people and wealthy rich men lie side by side on Copacabana Beach, sharing the waves, sunshine and sand. In Rio, you can find forests in the city, and you can also

High-rise buildings are found in the countryside; people keep complaining and demonstrating, but the cheerful samba dance in the streets never stops; mayors come and go, but they cannot change the city. Rio cannot be described in one word

, because its antonym can always be found here.

The state of Rio de Janeiro is famous for its service industries such as tourism, information and communication, finance, and insurance. The state of Rio de Janeiro is rich in tourism resources and has many tourist attractions. Among them, the city of Rio is the most famous, and the most famous landscape is the Statue of Christ the Redeemer. It is known to the state of Rio and

Brazil is proud of its 28 state famous attractions and tourist attractions, half of which are located in coastal areas, most of which are charming bays, beaches and lush tropical islands, while the other half are located in the mountains and green forests of the state.

The mountainous area has both historical attractions, national and state-level forest parks, and unique carnivals and carnivals. The Brazilian Carnival is known as the largest and most unrestrained carnival in the world, and is the largest festival in Brazil.

Its enthusiasm for femininity is unparalleled in the world, attracting millions of domestic and foreign tourists every year. Among the carnivals across Brazil, the most famous is the Rio de Janeiro Carnival, which is the most famous and fascinating in the world.

Grand event. Because the Bahian people are unwilling to market it, the Carnival here can maintain its original flavor and become the most authentic embodiment of Brazilian tradition and Carnival spirit. During the event, the whole city came out in droves, and people

Regardless of skin color, race, rich or poor, everyone flooded into the streets. Men, women, old and young, all heavily made up, sang and danced wildly, expressing themselves to their heart's content. The grand Samba parade was the climax of the carnival, with large floats surrounding the "King"

Leading the way with the "Queen", Latin girls with fiery figures wearing bikinis or topless dance passionate samba with male dancers. Gorgeous costumes, powerful music, fiery samba and the beautiful scenery of Brazil

The beauty makes people linger. Street carnival activities kicked off on Friday. The street carnival also attracted thousands of revelers, many dressed as clowns, TV celebrities or animals, who paraded through the streets and alleys.

The night activities of the carnival are club dances, which attract card dancers and tourists from the Cali area. Another highlight of the carnival is the best costume competition held in several dances.

Bards and even the Roman Catholic Archbishop came out in various costumes. The Rio de Janeiro Carnival is the most colorful. Undoubtedly the centerpiece of the entire event is the large-scale Samba School Parade. Samba is the most colorful carnival.

A unique African activity, Samba dance combines European folk style and African singing and dancing skills. As for the Samba dance parade, it is a new product of the 20th century. Although Rio de Janeiro is densely populated, it has not reduced the pursuit of pleasure by the Latin people at all.

The mood. The carnival carnival fully reflects Rio’s Dionysian culture, but Rio’s charming places are not limited to this: beaches, art museums, and delicious food are all reasons why tourists never want to return.

Although Angela and others did not witness the annual carnival, they did watch the carnival performances every Friday. An episode occurred during which Hu Bin, Angela and the guards were dispersed by the crowd.

Angela pulled Hu Bin and had a lot of fun. Hu Bin didn't like this noisy environment and naturally didn't participate. When Angela was about to go back, she even kissed Hu Bin on the face, which made Hu Bin happy.

Bin was a little surprised and helpless. After being together for so long, Hu Bin naturally knew that Angela liked him, but not to mention that he had Qianqian, even if he was not engaged, he had no feelings for Angela. Angela's

This relationship was destined not to be accepted. Angela and her party set out on the road again the next day, but Angela's global visit was almost over. Now there was only the last country left, the United States.

The San Marino cruise ship continued north along the coastline, heading towards the established destination of Baltimore. Baltimore is an important seaport city on the Atlantic coast of the United States. It is located on the west side of the top of the Chesapeake Bay and is only more than 60 kilometers away from Washington, the capital of the United States.

, the port area is near the outlet of the Patapasco River. From here through the bay to the vast Atlantic Ocean, there is still a 250-kilometer voyage. However, due to the superior natural conditions near the port, the Chesapeake Bay and

It is wide and has a deep channel. Ocean-going ships of 10,000 tons can sail directly into the Baltimore Port area. This port belongs to Maryland and has always been an important outlet connecting the Great Lakes, Central Basin and the Atlantic Ocean in the United States. A port with excellent transportation must have

It has excellent transportation and communication conditions. In 1827, the first railway in the United States, the Baltimore-Ohio Railway, was laid here, becoming the gateway to the Midwest. The tall loading and unloading bridges can be seen from a distance.

, rows of neat containers, piles of bulk cargo like hills, the black ones are coal, the red ones are iron sand, are they very impressive? And the United States is worthy of being the most developed country. Previous countries, rich and poor,

What greeted Angela was only a special car, but the American government actually sent several military helicopters to fly Angela and Hu Bin directly to the White House. The days in Washington were still so boring, but
