NORTH WEST PASSAGE
Interrupted moonbeams dance on icebergs and trail their milk-white fingers in icy sea, accompanying emerald rhythms of the Borealis.
The blue-white stage emits a ghostly hue, evanescent and lambent by turns. In the vast silence, glaciers tower like cathedrals in the midnight sky.
Aboard The Erebus, an old salt, inured to the show; stamps his feet, breathes warmth into his calloused hands and dreams of hot tea, unwitting of his fate.
