To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some fell into the water, were crushed between the pieces of ice, and severely injured. The greatest part of them escaped uninjured, although they departed with empty hands. I should scarcely have been saved had I been still there, because every one had enough to do to save him- self. Besides, we Europeans are not so skil- ful as the Greenlanders in jumping from one piece of ice to another, or, when we fall into the water, in climbing up again. It may easily be supposed, that such a prodigious ...number of icebergs, by the cold which proceeds from them, must make the air near them much more raw, than it is, even much farther to the north. I lived half a mile from them: when a mountain 107 fell in ruins, I heard the noise like loud peals of thunder ; I daily saw these icebergs, and felt the effects of their neighbourhood. When I returned home from Christianshaab, which lies four miles more to the south, the tears flowed from my eyes for cold, even at Whitsuntide, when my back was in a per- spiration.
