What reading level is Pictures of Arctic Travel Greenland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The ice molds itself to its bed, as the river does. When the bed is wide, it expands ; when the bed is narrow, it contracts and thickens ; when the descent is slight, it deepens ; when rapid, it hurries along, and becomes shoal. An ice-stream, like a river, has therefore its cascades, its rapids, its broad lagoons (so to speak), and its smooth, steady, even-flowing places. It carries rocks along with it upon its sur- face, which have been hurled down upon it from 5* io6 Pictures of Arctic Trave...l. Neighboring cliffs by the frost, as the river carries sticks of wood, leaves, and other light materials. Greenland is only the Alps many times magni- fied not in altitude, but in extent of surface and the quantity of mountain-ice which it has accumu- lated. The whole interior of that continent, as we have seen, is, in effect, covered with an ice-sea, from which flow ice-streams on either side down through the valleys. There is, however, one great point of difference between the Alpine ice-stream, or glacier, and the Greenland ice-stream.
