The only bit of ice I could find -- it took me 36 hours of skiing around trying to find an airstrip -- was exactly 473 meters. I could measure it with my skis.
Vienīgais piemērotais gabals, ko atradu, – lai to atrastu, slēpoju apkārt 36 stundas, – bija tieši 473 metrus garš. Varēju to izmērīt ar slēpēm.
