In this way a lake of the lovidiest bine is formed, wliich reaches (|nite to the base of the ice-clirts, saps them, as the Arctic waves sa|) the Greenland glaciers, and receives from tliem the broken masses which it has nnderniined. As we look down upon the lake, small icebergs sail over the ^_^^_J tranquil surface, each resembling a snowy swan accompanied by its ; This lake is the Miirjelen Sea of the Swiss. Professor Tyndall goes on to describe a spectacle which he witnessed, and which, as we have seen, is of frequent occurrence in the Arctic seas.
