Snowbank Lake at twilight.
Marty worked on a quinzee (snow cave). Dan slept in one, but Marty and his friends choose to sleep outside in a lighter shelter. The nighttime low was 13 below. Before they retired, Dan read the Scouts Jack London's great short story "To Build a Fire," which he described as "a good bedtime story about freezing to death in the Yukon."
