Night is becoming day at Lake E -- Twilight is growing so that now our nights are not as dark as a few weeks ago. The sun goes down behind the rim of the crater about 9 PM but it doesn't get dark until nearly 11:30 and is light again by 3:30 or 4 AM. The picture here was taken around 1:30 AM and you can see 15 km (9.3 miles) across the crater; the smallest dot of light above the housing is the drill rig 7.25 km (4.5 miles) from camp. The brightly lit building on the left is the kitchen/mess hall.
