This is a truly well written chapter about seeing the sun rise at solstice from Mt Fuji.
What I really like is the digressions that follow a logical and natural flow and pan naturally back to the main story. Concepts like Victor the out of shape accountant provide contrast and narrative lines that are pulled in a let out as you read. You can hear how idle mention of minerals in one context are drawn up to be foundation of a brief observation in others like "mineral diggings". I like the conceptual depth of talking about research being like chasing the sun.
Eyjafjallajokull was a cryptic clanger put in there, I had to research later. It a volcano is Iceland that erupted in 2010 five years after 2005 assent written in the book, but obviously require decoding for being read in 2019.
