到底有多冷？

威斯康星州（Wisconsin）的麦考伊堡（Fort McCoy）一月份的天气极其寒冷，能让人的眼睫毛都结冰。

威斯康星州的严寒气候因其艰苦条件而成为海军陆战队第2飞行联队（2nd Marine Air Wing）的乌勒尔盾牌（Ullr Shield）演习的最佳训练场地。对于像上图中的准下士（Lance Corporal）科万·沃尔克（Kwan Walker）这样的海军陆战队员而言，这是他们掌握在严寒条件下履行各项职责所必需的技能的地方。

随着北约组织（NATO）的三叉戟接点演习（Trident Juncture exercise）持续到11月7日在挪威周边举行，极端天气技能——正如那些在威斯康星的训练项目——将在北欧的严寒气候中得到演练。

How cold is it?

It’s so cold in Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, in January that it will freeze your eyelashes.

Wisconsin’s frigid winter climate provides a perfect, if grueling, training ground for the 2nd Marine Air Wing’s Ullr Shield exercise. For Marines like Lance Corporal Kwan Walker (above), this is where they develop the skills necessary to perform all manner of duties in extreme cold-weather conditions.

As NATO’s Trident Juncture exercise continues in and around Norway until November 7, extreme weather skills — like those practiced in Wisconsin — will be honed in the harsh climates of northern Europe.
