I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

A change in the weather is known to be extreme
(When I typed this Dylan quote as the title of the post, it occurred to me that I might have already used it. So I checked—I've already used it for three different posts, including one about Antarctica in 2018. But there are more than 5000 posts on this blog, so I think I'm allowed to repeat myself.)
It had been sunny and (reasonably) warm in Fortuna Bay in the morning, but by the time we got into the zodiacs in Prince Olav Harbour after lunch it was chilly and overcast. After about an hour, the mists rolled in over the mountains, looking like a backdrop in a movie where something very bad is about to happen and the wind started to pick up. And by the time we got back to the ship there was a thick fog and heavy swells and the zodiacs were bouncing around like giant rubber ping pong balls.
