The Sloop among the Icebergs
On the attempted return through the southern opening of Emerson's inner world, Olaf's father warns of an immense white obstruction ahead. The sloop becomes wedged between grinding icebergs, and the travellers wait for the pressure to ease before taking a narrow channel through the ice. Williams emphasises the almost architectural height of the frozen walls above the fragile boat.
