En: During the day, the Arctic tundra was in all its glory. Et: Päike rippus madalal taevas, visates pikki varjusid, kuigi oli suvi ja tundus, et päev ei lõppe kunagi. En: The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows, even though it was summer and it felt like the day would never end. Et: Karel ja Maarja olid kaugel oma baaslaagrist, keset lõputut samblikat ja madalat põõsastikku. En: Karel and Maarja were far from their base camp, in the midst of endless moss land and low shrubs. Et: Nad olid tulnud siia uurimisretkele, kuid nüüd olid nad eksinud. En: They had come here on an expedition, but now they were lost. Et: Karelit vaevasid kahtlused oma juhtimise kohta.
