Hi Tracy.

I don't think that the OP has a good idea about the international nature
of newsgroups. I admit that the international language of modern science
is English and that most usenet users are from Western Europe and North
America. But:

One has to suppose that most people looking at the link will have
difficulty recognising things on it.

As for the answer, it seems that the bank of fog on one side merely
grows
and shrinks. On this spell it grew out as far as the islands in
question.

The other bank of fog moved from top right to bottom left. Neither had
time or ability to grow big enough on this occasion to make the whole
lot seem one big pea soup.
