Sixteen of us left Boston last night with only 26 pieces of luggage. We left at 9:30 at night. It was the last dark night we will see until August. Here is a picture of the sunrise over Southern Greenland. The sun rose about midnight as we moved north towards the artic circle. Greenland is icy and Iceland is green.
