To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As the snow slips down the mountainside, following depressions in the rocks, just as the streams of water follow the valleys, it becomes packed hard; then it is called neve. A little farther down the pressure of the snow above squeezes it into ice; and a little farther down, this ice is so squeezed that it becomes hard and blue. "Like the river of water, this river of ice winds around through valleys. Do you see away up there how the Nisqually Glacier turns a corner around that huge rock? Like ...the river of water, it breaks into ripples when it runs down slanting places, and into cascades and waterfalls when it runs over precipices. Like the river of water, which grows bigger because other streams empty into it, the glacier grows bigger because other glaciers flow into it. Sometimes a glacier will flow for many miles, like the immense glaciers in the Mount McKinley National Park in Alaska; but sooner or later it will reach the point where ice melts, and there it will turn into a river of water.
