At last, at eleven in the sunlight night, the summit of Snæfell was reached, and before going in for shelter into the crater I had time to observe the midnight sun, at his lowest point, gilding with his pale rays the island that slept at my feet.
Por fin, a las once de la noche, en plena obscuridad, llegamos a la cumbre del Sneffels; y, antes de buscar abrigo en el interior del cráter, tuve tiempo de ver el sol de la media noche en la parte inferior de su carrera, proyectando sus pálidos rayos sobre la isla dormida a mis pies.
