What reading level is Ice Caves of France And Switzerland a Narrative of Subterranean Exploration book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I let down a stone for 18 feet, when it stuck fast, and would move neither one way nor the other. The upper wall of this fissure was clothed with moss-like ice, and ice of the pris- matic structure, with here and there large scythe-blades, as it were, attached by the sharp edge to the rock, and lying vertically with the heel outwards. One of these was 1 1 inches deep, from the heel to the rock, and only one- eighth of an inch thick at the thickest part.
The angle occupied by the cascade or colu...mn was the most striking. The base of the column was large, and apparently solid, like a smooth unbroken waterfall sud- denly frozen. It fitted into the angle of the cave, and completely filled up the space between the contiguous walls. I commenced to chop with my axe, and before long found that this ice was hollow, though very thick; and when a sufficient hole was made for me to get through, I saw that what had looked like a column was in truth only a curtain of ice hung across the angle of the cave.
