“But still, you sound smart. What else do you know?”

Philip muttered, racking his brain. “You know that Lofoten is on the Arctic Circle, right?”

Barbara nodded hesitantly. “Yes.”

“Then why doesn’t it freeze? Surfers even love visiting one of the beaches. Can you imagine? Surfing in polar waters.”

Barbara froze. Her mouth rounded, realizing the fact. “Is it because it’s summer?”

“No. Even in winter, the average temperature rarely goes below
