To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then he looked through them again, and at once ex- claimed that he could see no trace of the flag now.
The horizon seemed to be walloping up and down, just as though it was boiling, evidently the result of a mirage.
Mawson, however, was so confident that he had seen the flag when he first looked, that we altered course to south-88°-west magnetic, and after we had gone a little over a mile, and reached the top of a slight emi- nence in the ice-surface, we were rejoiced to hear the announcement t...hat he could now see the depot flag distinctly. We kept on sledging for several miles further.
At midnight, when the temperature had fallen to zero, I felt that the big toe of my right foot was getting frost- bitten. My ski-boots had all day been filled with the soft snow and the warmth of my foot had thawed the snow, so that my socks were wet through; and now, since the springing up of the wind and the sudden fall in temperature, the water in the socks had turned to ice.
