Geography

The fjord opens to the northwest to the east of Freuchen Land and to the south and west of Nansen Land. The Hans Tausen Ice Cap lies to the east of the inner fjord. The Navarana Fjord branches south in the middle fjord zone.[1] The Henson Glacier discharges from the south at its head and the Expedition Glacier from the east further north from the terminus of the Henson Glacier.[2]

Sverdrup Island and Elison Island are located to the north of its mouth.[3] John Murray Island lies further off to the NW.[4] Merqujoq Island is located in the inner reaches, in a bend in the fjord.[2]

gollark: `.` increases timewarp speed, `,` decreases it, IIRC.
gollark: `tracks_played` is just the total number of tracks played since it started up, and `track.last_played` stores what `tracks_played` was when the track in question was lat played.
gollark: The winter solstice is waaay better, I agree.
gollark: ```lualocal function get_weight(track) if track.last_played then local tracks_ago_played = tracks_played - track.last_played return math.min(400, math.pow(tracks_ago_played, 2)) else return 400 endend```
gollark: I don't actually have support programmed in there for dropping the quality, but I think all you'd need to do is drop the sample rate when converting to WAV then write in a lower playback speed accordingly.
