[00:02.48] | September 24, we turned out early and set off with the determination to reach land that day. |
[00:08.57] | This time, too, we were not disappointed. |
[00:10.55] | We pushed on fast, as the gradient was often tolerably steep and gave us much help. |
[00:15.81] | The wind was fair, too, the ice easy, and everything promising. |
[00:19.19] | Some way down a reconnaissance proved necessary, as the ice here got rather rougher. |
[00:24.28] | I went on in front and soon found myself upon the brow of an ice-slope which overlooked a beautiful mountain tarn, |
[00:30.54] | the surface of which was covered with a sheet of ice. |
[00:33.88] | Beyond was a gorge through which a river from the tam ran downwards , |
[00:37.44] | while to the right the great glacier sloped evenly down to its end moraine, |
[00:41.53] | and would have formed the most magnificent coasting-hill imaginable, |
[00:44.41] | but for the stones that lay scattered over its surface. |
[00:47.92] | Here was an easy descent for us, and no obstacles to separate us from our goal. |
[00:53.17] | I soon had the whole party by me , and we stood enjoying the sight of, the land below. |
[00:57.62] | After I had taken a couple of photographs, we set Off down the last ice-slope. |
[01:01.65] | It was steep it was steeper perhaps than any we had run down before, |
[01:05.66] | and we had to use our brakes ; |
[01:07.76] | but the sledges went gaily , and soon we were safe and well upon the frozen tarn below the glacier , |
[01:12.51] | with the “ Inland ice ” for ever left behind. |
[01:16.40] | We now pushed across the tarn towards the river on the Other side. |
[01:19.90] | The ice was not everywhere quite safe ,but by moving carefully we reached the rocks beyond without mishap, |
[01:24.99] | took of the “ crampons ” which we had been using the last few days, |
[01:28.06] | and like schoolboys released, ran wildly about the shore. |
[01:31.26] | Words cannot describe what it was for us only to have the earth and stones again beneath our feet, |
[01:36.16] | or the thrill that went through us as we felt the elastic heather on which we trod, |
[01:39.72] | and smelt the fragrant scent Of grass and moss. |
[01:43.00] | Behind us lay the “ Inland ice, ” its cold , grey slope sinking slowly towards the lake ; |
[01:48.28] | before lay the genial land. |
[01:51.26] | Away down the valley we could see headland beyond headland, |
[01:54.09] | covering and overlapping each Other as far as the eye could reach. |
[01:57.28] | Here lay our course , the way down to the fjord. |
[02:00.19] | I’ll return. |

[00:02.48] | 9月24日,我们早早起床,带着当日到达平地的决心出发了 |
[00:08.57] | 这一次也没有让我们失望 |
[00:10.55] | 陡峭的斜坡帮助我们加快了下降的进程 |
[00:15.81] | 风和日丽,冰面平滑,这一切让接下来的路程充满了希望 |
[00:19.19] | 从某方面来说,事先侦察地形还是有必要的,因为这里的冰面开始变得越来越崎岖不平 |
[00:24.28] | 我走到前面,很快发现自己在一个冰坡的山脊处,高耸于一个美丽的山中冰斗湖之上 |
[00:30.54] | 而湖的表面被一层冰覆盖。 |
[00:33.88] | 远处是一条峡谷,穿过了来自冰斗湖的河流,往下延伸 |
[00:37.44] | 在右边巨大的冰川缓缓倾斜向下直至它的底部 |
[00:41.53] | 倘若没有散布在表面的碎石的话 |
[00:44.41] | 它将是最为美丽壮观的冰岸山 |
[00:47.92] | 这是一次简单的下降,在终点和我们之间没有任何障碍阻隔 |
[00:53.17] | 很快我的小队都到齐了,大家站在这里俯瞰,享受着脚下这片美景 |
[00:57.62] | 我拍了几张照后,动身继续最后一段冰坡下降 |
[01:01.65] | 这段冰坡很陡,比我们之前遇到的任何一段都要陡 |
[01:05.66] | 以至于我们要用到我们的雪橇的刹车减速 |
[01:07.76] | 但是雪橇依旧欢快的滑行着,没多久我们就安全抵达了位于冰川下的冰斗湖上 |
[01:12.51] | 而“格陵兰冰原”永远被留在了身后 |
[01:16.40] | 我们继续前行,穿过了冰斗湖,走向位于另一端的河流 |
[01:19.90] | 不是每一处冰面都很安全,但我们非常小心翼翼地移动,免遭不幸发生 |
[01:24.99] | 拿着前几天一直在用的“冰爪” |
[01:28.06] | 我们像放学的孩子一样,疯狂的在海滨上奔跑 |
[01:31.26] | 言语无法描述我们此刻的心情和这一切对我们的意义, 看起来只不过是陆地和石头再一次被我们踩在脚下 |
[01:36.16] | 感受着脚底踩过柔韧的石南(植物)时内心泛起的兴奋涟漪 |
[01:39.72] | 和再一次闻到草和泥沼的芳香 |
[01:43.00] | 在我们身后,是“格陵兰冰原”,它那冷峻,灰白的斜角缓缓下沉至湖中 |
[01:48.28] | 在触到脚下的这块宜人平原前,率先隐没消失于湖里。 |
[01:51.26] | 沿着峡谷离开,我们可以开到远处的山外有山 |
[01:54.09] | 它们在目所能及的地方相互覆盖,重叠 |
[01:57.28] | 这里沉睡着一条属于我们的航线,通往峡湾 |
[02:00.19] | 我将返回。 |
