What reading level is The First Crossing of Greenland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They tire one less both because they have not to be lifted, but merely driven forwards, and because the legs are kept no wider apart than in ordinary walking. For nineteen days continuously we used our " ski " from early morning till late in the evening, and the distance we thus covered was not much less than 240 miles.
The weather during almost the whole time of our crossing was so far clear that we could see the sun, and there were not many days on which the sky was completely overcast. Even ...when there was snow falling, which often happened, it was not thick enough to prevent the sun showing through. The snow which fell was always fine, and was more like frozen mist, so to say, than the snow we are generally accustomed to in Europe. It was exactly the same as is known in certain parts of Norway as " frost-snow," which is due to the fact that the moisture of the air falls directly to the earth without going through the intermediate cloud-stage.
When the sun shone through the fine falling snow there was always a ring round it, which, together with mock-suns and the intersecting axes, were phenomena which occurred almost daily during our journey across the interior.
