This canal enters into the ports, and remains frozen for about 3 months each year, having a width of 37 leagues. the Arctic pole. the rocks are black and very deep. The pygmies dwell here at the top, 4 feet long, which they call very much those whom they sow in greenland. here the canal has its doors, and, on account of its narrowness, has now reached a rapid flow which it freezes. The ocean j9 breaking into the ports between these islands, it sacked 4 rivers, by which it is unseen to the north, and there it will be swallowed up into the bowels of the earth by the rocks which is below the pole, and has about 33 leagues. In the northern parts of the island there are a pair of bargu, says Paul, which lie so far toward the water as the aretic pole may seem to them to weep at the south. here is the sea of sweet waters, the border of which the Canadians say from the report of the nets of those who are going to be norari.
