Excerpt: . . . ships are imperceptibly immured amidst the ice, and carried away from their original situation, by the regularity of its drift to the south-westward. , From this narrative, it will appear, that, notwithstanding we only penetrated 25 or 30 miles on our ingress, and among ice most widely disposed; yet, before our extrication was accomplished, we had passed on a direct course a distance of 35 or 40 leagues, whereof one-half was in contracted channels, amidst compact and formidable ice. And, further, that in less than a fortnight, while at rest with regard to the ice, our drift, as ascertained by astronomical observations, had been 60 or 70 miles to the south, and a distance nearly as great to the west. SECT. IX. Effects of the Ice on the Atmosphere, and of tin Ice and Sea on each other. The profusion of ice in the polar regions, produces peculiar and marked effects on the surrounding elements. The sea, in consequence, exhibits some interesting characters, and the atmosphere, some striking phenomena. Of these, the power the ice exerts on the wind, --on aqueous vapour, --on the colour of the sky, --and on the temperature of the air, are the most prominent; and of those the results are varied accordingly as the ice or swell has the ascendency. 1. When the wind blows forcibly across a solid pack or field of ice, its power is much diminished ere it traverses many miles: Insomuch, that a storm will frequently blow for several hours on one side of a field, before it be perceptible on the other; and, while a storm prevails in open water, ships beset within sight, will not experience onehalf of its severity. 2.
