A pond, lake or river frozen so thickly as to bear up heavy loaded teams of horses, and armies of men with all their equipages will be materially arched as it leaves the banks. An evidence of this comes when rising and cracking with loud reports and at the thawing up and yielding of pressure on the banks when loud explosions like blasts or firing of cannons will occur, caused by the settling and cracking of the ice. As the ocean depths are great and the Arctic night of long duration, the fresh-water portions to a great depth congeal, and rising form a mass of ice inconceivable to temperate climes, both in height and area. Imagine what an iceberg must have been in starting from seventy-fifth to eightieth parallel of latitude and floated through all kinds of weather till midsummer, arriving off the coasts of Newfoundland, and then 300 to 500 feet high with seven times its height under water and so large as to take hours and even days or weeks to pass the main mass of ice and its fragments that have sloughed off. Has any explorer ever seen such a body of ice break off from a glacier that must have covered scores of miles square when it started? As an arrow shot into the air bends its course to follow the heavy end, as truly do the heavy elements in the water manifest themselves at the center of the Earth’s motion, and the saltness of the Equatorial waters is much stronger than approaching the polar holes, which last term might be used with good reason instead of poles. There seems to be with all Arctic explorers the obstacle presenting itself, termed the ice belt. This obstacle is suggestive, and leads the way to base the following conclusions: That the water at this point has become so freshened, as to admit of such a wide freezing belt, but that the boundary line is made between salt water and fresh. It is not in place here to describe a glacier until the cause and origin is explained, which will properly come after considering the water influences from inside. The next purpose will be to show and aim to prove that the Earth is hollow and supplied with an ocean of fresh water and habitable land. As said before the theory of an open sea gives the inference of a new climate and country, therefore now, what evidence, actual or circumstantial can be adduced? It is claimed by Arctic navigators beyond all their attempts to reach beyond the ice belt, geese, duck, and other wild fowl continue to fly and seem to be in quest of food which they must obtain in waters beyond the ice belt.
