A bode of Snow is a literal translation of the Sanscrit compound Himalaya, and therefore foims an appiopnate title for a work treating of those giant mountains The A bode of Snow par excellence is not in the Himdlaya, or even in the Arctic region, but (setting Saturn aside) in the Antarctic region Owing to the gi eater preponderance of ocean in the southern hemisphere, the greatest accumulation of ice is round the South Pole, and hence the not improbable theory that, when the accumulation has reached a certain point, the balance of the earth must be suddenly destroyed, and this oib shall almost instantaneously turn transversely to its axis, moving the great oceans, and so producing one of those cyclical catastrophes which, there is some reason to believe, have before now mterfeied with the development and the civilisation of the human race How near such a Catastrophe may be, and whether, when it occurs, a few just men (and, it is to be hoped, women also) will certainly be left in the upper valleys of the Himdlaya, I am unab.
