The sunrise this morning was scheduled for 6:53 a.m. But it was 7 a.m. when the sun emerged from the clouds. The temperature was -4.4 degrees Celsius. It was taken in Mombetsu park. Amazing.
Drift ice, Icebreaker boat "garinko-gou", Seal, Eagle, etc... Mombetsu is located in northeast of Hokkaido in Japan. That port city is on the shoreline facing Sea of Okhotsk. The local guide gives the latest scene of the four seasons.
