Twenty Thousand Leagues, The Great Ice
South, and further south, ice above, ice below, and open water at the bottom of the world.
Retold for sleep from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, first published in 1870 and long out of copyright. The story is Verne's; every sentence here is our own.

Grounded, even, steady
Grounded and even, the same calm weight on every line, present without pushing, steady when the moment isn't.
