Book Description
Excerpt from Voyages in Search of the North-West Passage: From the Collection of Richard Hakluyt Take heed. There is a noise like thunder, and a mountain snaps in two. The upper half comes, crash ing, grinding, down into the sea, and loosened streams of water follow it. The sea is displaced before the mighty heap; it boils and scatters up a cloud of spray; it rushes back, and violently beats upon the shore. The mountain rises from its bath, sways to and fro, while water pours along its mighty sides; now it is tolerably quiet, letting crackers Off as air escapes out of its cavities. That is an iceberg, and in that way are all icebergs formed. Mountains of ice formed by rain and snow - grand Arctic glaciers, undermined by the sea or by accumulation over-balanced - topple down upon the slightest provocation (moved by a shout, r haps), and where they float, as this black-looking fe w does, they need deep water. This berg in height is about ninety feet, and a due balance requires that a mass nine times as large as the part visible should be submerged. Icebergs are seen about us now which rise two hundred feet above the water's level. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
