On the deck, a group of people stood, each one of them wrapped up in thick coats, bundled up like penguins.
On a normal day, it still wouldn't be light out and everyone would be sleeping, but now quite a few people had actually shown up.
Obviously, everyone had woken up early to see the aurora.
The huge cruise ship slid through the sea filled with floating ice, shattering pieces of thin ice and leaving behind a clear trail of water.
The Arctic Ocean is a sea covered in sea ice, with about two-thirds of its surface area made up of perennially frozen seawater; the remaining surface is also thick with floating ice and icebergs.
About half of this water remains frozen year-round, the rest melts in spring and refreezes in winter.
The ice in the central area has even been there for 3 million years, belonging to the category of permanent sea ice.
As for the climate, it can be summed up in one word: cold.
"Whew, it's so cold."
"Too cold, what's the temperature now?"
