Glacial ghost, английский
The whaler hope had chased a quarry as far as the ice cliffs of antarctica where it managed to give them the slip. they were about to sail away in search of other prey when the great ice barrier began to break up and calve. large chunks fell away opening up several chasms. suddenly, to the horror of hope’s crew, a spectral ship sailed out of one of the inlets, sails in tatters and hull splintered, with seven ice-encrusted human figures standing or sitting on deck. quelling his crew’s terrified mutterings of “flying dutchman,” captain brighton ordered a whaleboat to be launched and rowed across to the “phantom.” in the master’s cabin he found a man sitting at his desk, pen in hand, apparently entering something in the log book. he was, however, as solidly flash-frozen as the men on deck and his wife in the next door cabin. his final entry in the log read “no food for 71 days. i am the only one left alive,” and the date of may 4, 1823, indicated that the schooner jenny had been trapped in the ice for thirty-seven and one-half years.

A drainage pattern in which subsequent streams follow a roughly circular or concentric path along a belt of weak rocks, resembling in plan view, a ring-like pattern where the bedrock joints or fracturing control the parallel tributaries. it is best displayed in streams draining a maturely dissected granitic or sedimentary structural dome or basin where erosion has exposed rimming sedimentary strata of greatly varying degrees of hardness, as in the red valley which nearly encircles the domal structure of the black hills, sd. sw & gg & wa
