Now, I wanted to see the pole it-self, and some eight hours after we met the submarine, we were crashing through that ice, surfacing, and then I was standing in an eerily beautiful snowcape, windswept and sparkling white, with the horizon defined by little hummocks, or "pressure ridges " of ice that are pushed up like tiny mountain ranges when separate sheets collide.

现在我想实地考一下北极极点。我们登上潜艇约八个小时后，潜艇冲破冰层浮上面。于是，我便置身于一片神奇瑰丽的冰雪世界中。雪原上寒风劲扫，银光闪耀，其边缘则是一道由连绵起伏的小冰丘或由冰席相撞、相互挤压而形成小型山脉的冰层"压脊"勾勒出的地平线。

To me, away there in my bean-field at the other end of the town, the big guns sounded as if a puffball had burst;and when there was a military turnout of which I was ignorant, I have sometimes had a vague sense all the day of some sort of itching and disease in the horizon, as if some eruption would break out there soon, either scarlatina or canker-rash, until at length some more favorable puff of wind, making haste over the fields and up the Wayland road, brought me information of the "trainers."

And after the nadir of the winter solstice the new sun secretly climbs towards the eastern horizon while the tide ebbs further and further out to final emptiness, whereupon Sol's nascent progression is suddenly announced at the vernal equinox, when he appears so resplendently above the distant waves and enters the upper vessel of day, which heralds the turn of tide, the reversal of regression to forward flow.

在冬至点之后，新日隐秘的上升至东方的地平线，潮汐一步步降落至最低处，直至初生的太阳最终到达春分点，在遥远的浪潮之上开始闪耀，进入一日的上半部分。这也预示了潮汐重新上涨，与之前的退潮相反开始顺流上涨活动。
