Guided by his skillful hands, the Nautilus passed by all these different masses of ice, which are classified by size and shape with a precision that enraptured Conseil: "icebergs," or mountains; "ice fields," or smooth, limitless tracts; "drift ice," or floating floes; "packs," or broken tracts, called "patches" when they're circular and "streams" when they form long strips.
Zoo gleed de Nautilus, door een bekwame hand bestuurd, tusschen al die ijsbergen, die eindelooze ijsvelden, die drijvende ijsschotsen, die langere of kortere ijsbrokken door.
