1633

Thursday, January 10, 1633
The cold was very severe.  I see daylight a great part of the winter, only through ice.  The crusts of ice gather upon the windows of my cell, or little room, and fall like a lozenge, or a piece of glass, when the cold relaxes.  It is through this crystal that the sun sends us his light.

    - Paul Le Jeune among the Montagnais
