I made it in time
I got up early today, so I went walking early in the morning. I went to the port to take a picture of a fishing boat going fishing. It's a scallop fishing boat. I sometimes ran and made it just in time.

Drift ice sightseeing
Mombetu is in the middle of drift ice sightseeing. The floating ice is the ice from the sea flowing from the north. This is a rare phenomenon even in the world.
