EremoterraThe chronicle of Southerly Buster
Open sea, 523 m deep, kept by Imogen Hart
Every line is a record the land wrote; the names in quotes are the owner's words. What the chronicle does not say did not happen. Most lines fade after half a year; the kept ones stay.
Animals here this month: polar bear (feeding), orca (feeding), walrus (migrating), seal (moulting), whale (feeding), penguin (nesting).
