LAN (local apparent noon) weather report: air temperature
42 degrees Fahrenheit, water temperature 34 degrees Fahrenheit. By midnight,
air temperature dropped to about 34 degrees as well. That’s when many cadets
came out to watch the sunset, which was thus far on this cruise the most
picturesque. Behind us were the rugged, glacier-draped mountains under the half
moon; due northwest was the sun slowly sweeping towards north on its arctic
ecliptic. Only reluctantly, after almost half an hour, did the sun dip fully
below the horizon and vanish after a fleeting green flash.
