最近,一则阿联酋富豪要从南极拖冰山回国的消息,惊呆不少网友。
这可不是段子哦!据英国媒体7月8日报道一位阿拉伯百万富翁,计划将一座冰山从南极拖回国,以帮助受旱灾影响的阿拉伯国家
阿联酋商人Abdulla Alshehi是这么设想的:
用一艘经过改装的拖船,从南极洲附近的赫德岛运一大块冰块,经过约8,800公里的距离,将其拖到阿联酋。
Businessman Abdulla Alshehi hopes to tow a massive chunk of ice over 5,500 miles (8,800km) from Heard Island, near Antarctica, to the Emirates using a modified tug boat.
然后,这座冰山将停靠在距离富查伊拉(阿联酋的七个酋长国之一)海岸两英里的地方 ——这是阿曼湾的一个小型沿海城市。
The iceberg would then be anchored two miles off the coast of Fujairah - a tiny coastal city on the Gulf of Oman and one of the seven emirates that make up theUAE.
Alshehi称他这个大胆的计划预计耗资1.5亿美元,将为阿联酋提供稳定的新鲜饮用水源超过一年。
Alshehi claims his audacious plan, which is estimated to cost $150m (?120m), would provide the Emirates with a steady source of fresh drinking water for over a year.
他还希望冰山可以成为一个独特的旅游景点,吸引来自该地区的游客。
这个大胆的想法被网友称为
“现实版西红柿首富”
不过,网友最关心的还是技术问题:真的不会融化吗
