“Using the Russian name for Nova Zembla, the mirage would come to be called the Novaya Zemlya effect, commemorating the location of the early sun that Barents and company saw in January 1597.”

“They pried open a barrel and divided out their portion of hard bread for the next eight days which came to just under five pounds each. Previously a barrel had only to last five or six days.
