THE FOGGIEST PLACES
Those of us who grumble about a few days’ fog hardly realise how lucky we are not to live in a part of the world where it is always foggy. There are certain islands in the South Atlantic used by sealers and whalers which are screened all the year round by more or less dense clouds of fog and mist. This is due to the warm air from the Atlantic striking the cold of the Antarctic. No man has glimpsed the South Shetland group as a whole, or even seen one of the islands in its entirety. The harder the winds blow the more the fog banks roll up, and the only sunshine is when there is a break for a few moments in the dense clouds.
