Together, they travel to Scotland, where they meet a group of scientists who are also interested in the green ray. The scientists tell Helena and Jacques that the green ray is a rare optical phenomenon that occurs when the sun sets and its light is refracted by the atmosphere.As Helena and Jacques continue their journey, they encounter a number of obstacles and challenges, including bad weather, dangerous cliffs, and even a group of pirates.
