2nd July, 1911

The moon is rising again; it came over the shoulder of Erebus about 5pm, in second quarter. It will cross the meridian at night, worse luck, but such days as this will be pleasant even with a low moon; one is very glad to think the Crozier Party are having such a peaceful time. It's only -35 degrees.

Mind you, imagine if it were closer to -65 out on the Barrier where they are!

No, that can't be possible. Surely.
