Ghiaccio qui, ghiaccio la',
era dovunque, il ghiaccio,
e crosciava, ringhiava, ruggiva e ululava,
i rumori che intendi da svenuto!

S. Coleridge, La ballata del vecchio marinaio

In sedici mesi ci eravamo abituati alla vista e ai rumori del ghiaccio alla deriva...
l'acme fu la vista, dalla terraferma, del ghiaccio da cui eravamo venuti. (137)
