Through the lounge windows I could see long creepers and gigantic fucus plants, bulb-bearing seaweed of which the open sea at the pole had revealed a few specimens; with their smooth, viscous filaments, they measured as much as 300 meters long; genuine cables more than an inch thick and very tough, they're often used as mooring lines for ships.
A szalon ablakán át hosszú liánokat s óriási hólyagmoszatokat láttam, melyekből a sarki tenger szabad részén is megfigyeltem néhány példányt. Hüvelyknyi vastagságú, nyálkás, sima rostjaik háromszáz méter hosszúra is megnőnek.
