English to Greek: Through the First Atlantic Night General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Geography
Source text - English Precisely at twelve o’clock a strange rectangular block of fire appeared in the east-south-east.
Its size was that of a small tabular iceberg, but it had a dull crimson glow which made the scene at once weird and fascinating.
Its base rested on the horizon and it seemed to rise, brighten, and move northerly.
[…] We watched this with considerable awe and amazement for ten minutes before we could determine its meaning.
It passed through several stages of forms, finally it separated, and we discovered that it was the moon.
It was in fact a sort of mirage of the moon, but the strange rectangular distortion, the fiery aspect, and its huge size, made a sight long to be remembered.
Translation - Greek Ακριβώς στις δώδεκα εμφανίστηκε ανατολικά - νοτιοανατολικά ένας παράξενος όγκος φωτιάς.
Το μέγεθός του ήταν αυτό ενός μικρού τραπεζοειδούς παγόβουνου, αλλά είχε μια θαμπή πορφυρή λάμψη, κάτι που έκανε το θέαμα αλλόκοτο και συναρπαστικό ταυτόχρονα.
Η βάση του στηριζόταν στον ορίζοντα και έμοιαζε να υψώνεται, να λάμπει και να κινείται προς τα νότια.
[...] Με αξιοσημείωτο θαυμασμό και δέος παρακολουθήσαμε για δέκα λεπτά προτού μπορέσουμε να καθορίσουμε το τι ήταν.
Πέρασε από διάφορα στάδια σχημάτων, τελικά διαχωρίστηκε και ανακαλύψαμε ότι ήταν το φεγγάρι.
Ήταν, στην πραγματικότητα, ο αντικατοπτρισμός του φεγγαριού, αλλά η παράξενη ορθογώνια παραμόρφωση, η πύρινη όψη και το τεράστιο μέγεθος του έκαναν το θέαμα αξιομνημόνευτο.
