Brrr. Seems to be sticking at nearly minus 60°C as I drop. What on Earth keeps the planet’s surface so warm? I notice at 30kms there are very few water molecules though I can see the tops of a few clouds powering up towards to the region. At 10 kilometers I start shedding my thermals again. The temperature is rising about 6C every kilometer I drop. What’s different?
