芬兰学生在渡轮路线因创纪录的冰层而关闭后,乘飞机穿越冷冻海域上学。 Students in Finland use a hovercraft to cross frozen sea to school after ferry routes closed due to record ice.

在芬兰帕尔加斯，包括12岁的雨果·维克斯特罗姆、9岁的朱莉娅·雅尔卡宁和8岁的尼尔斯-约翰·奥斯特曼在内的学生，乘坐名为“Snovit”的气垫船，在异常厚重的冰层阻挡了常规渡轮航线后，穿越冰封的波罗的海通勤上学。 In Pargas, Finland, students including 12-year-old Hugo Wickstrom, nine-year-old Julia Jalkanen, and eight-year-old Nils-Johan Ostman are using a hovercraft named “Snovit” to commute to school across the frozen Baltic Sea after unusually thick ice blocked regular ferry routes. 由于该区域冰封覆盖率创纪录,这是15年来第三次采取这一措施,这是自2011年以来最广泛的一次。 This marks the third time in 15 years such a measure has been taken, due to record ice coverage in the region, the most extensive since 2011. 国有Finferries部署了飞机以取代渡轮,将旅行时间从小时缩短到仅10分钟。 State-owned Finferries deployed hovercrafts to replace ferries, cutting travel time from hours to just 10 minutes. 这些能够滑过冰雪的船只需要熟练的飞行员在不断变化的天气和雾中飞行。 The vessels, capable of gliding over ice and snow, require skilled piloting amid shifting weather and fog. 虽然由于气候变化,这种极端的冰层现在很少见,但长期趋势显示,冰盖最高值正在下降,2020年的冰覆盖率最低。 While such extreme ice is now rare due to climate change, long-term trends show declining maximum ice cover, with the lowest levels recorded in 2020. 随着春天到来,海冰将融化,恢复正常的海上交通和季节性旅行模式。 As spring arrives, sea ice will melt, restoring normal maritime traffic and seasonal travel patterns.
