What reading level is Conquering the Arctic Ice book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whenever I turned round to see how matters stood, I saw the sledge lurching through the snowdrifts with the sail blown out, tight as a drum and sheering like a ship before the wind. The wind was quarter- ing, and to windward the sledge cover was overlaid with a thick coating of snow, the men looked like moving snow- men, and snow was everywhere in the dogs' fur. Axel and Hipana had to stand on the windward runner and take good care that the sledge did not capsize, while on we went through snowd...rifts and storm, skimming along at six miles an hour.
But this rate was not maintained. Owing to the thick weather, we had come too close to the mainland and were brought to a standstill by the mudflats of the Sakovanukto River, where the wind had blown off all the snow, leaving the flats bare. The sail was taken in, Hipana was sent ahead, and Axel and I toiled FROM FLAXMAN ISLAND TO ICY CAPE 339 in the hauling straps. And toil it was ! Every ounce of strength was used to force the sledge slowly ahead, and often we stopped altogether to move it along in standing pulls, a few feet at a time.
