By the next day, March 27, six meters of ice had been torn from the socket. Only four meters were left to be removed. That still meant forty-eight hours of work. The air couldn't be renewed in the Nautilus's interior. Accordingly, that day it kept getting worse.
Den volgenden dag, 27 Maart, was een dikte van zes meter weggehakt. Wij moesten nog door vier meter heen, dus nog 48 uren werken; in den Nautilus kon de lucht niet ververscht worden, zoodat het dien dag hoe langer hoe benauwder werd.
