To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The animal life was among the scantiest I had seen during my manytravels in the Polar Seas. A few seals were visible. Of birds we sawsome terns and gulls, and even far out at sea a pretty large numberof phalaropes--the most common kind of bird on the coast of theAsiatic Polar Sea, at least in autumn. Stolbovoj Island was, especially on the north side, high with precipitous shore-cliffswhich afforded splendid breeding-places for looms, black guillemotsand gulls. At all such cliffs there breed on... Spitzbergen millions ofsea fowl, which are met with out on the surrounding sea in greatflocks searching for their food. Here not a single loom was seen, and even the number of the gulls was small, which indeed in somedegree was to be accounted for by the late season of the year, butalso by the circumstance that no colony of birds had settled on therocky shores of the island. The sea bottom consisted at certain places of hard packed sand, orrather, as I shall endeavour to show farther on, of _frozen_ sand, from which the trawl net brought up no animals.
