About the cover photo: ”At last, the clock showed that it was time to light up the primuses for breakfast. What a treat to feel a little warmth, but a quick look outside soon dispelled the feeling of good humour; the temperature outside was no longer -55 ºC, it was -57 ºC, and we had no choice but to continue..” …”Managing to make only four kilometres per hour, we drove 20 km in the temperature of -57 ºC and the day ended abruptly when we reached the vertical glacier-edge and looked down on the frozen surface of Romer Sø. How far down it was, I am not sure, perhaps 20 to 30 metres, but certainly too far to jump. There were also crevasses, into which the snow we were travelling on would disappear with a swoosh, and this did nothing to increase our happiness. There was no way down …” .
