Crossing the Artic Circle

(Excerpt from Ship's Librarian, Mr. Delbango)

This morning sometime I crossed the Arctic Circle for the 2nd time in my life and entered "the Realm of the Polar Bear" or what is scientifically called The Frigid Zone. I haven't seen any Polar Bear yet, or for that matter, the icebergs they float on. The dictionary defines the Circle as "an imaginary line drawn parallel to the equator, at 23 degrees 28' S(outh) of the North Pole". It is the furthest northern limit of the circumpolar sun. We are traversing the upper coast of Iceland, heading west into the Norwegian Sea.

Frigid zone is an apt name. It is chilly out there today, probably in the
upper 30's. All the while it was sunny all night long.
