四面八方都是巍峨的雪峰，將他們包圍起來，彼此交錯，一直延伸到遙遠的地平線。兩側的岩岸陡峭無比，落葉松和松樹彷彿懸在他們頭頂，只需一陣風就能轟然落下。

In every direction the great snow-capped peaks hemmed them in, peeping over each other's shoulders to the far horizon. So steep were the rocky banks on either side of them that the larch and the pine seemed to be suspended over their heads, and to need only a gust of wind to come hurtling down upon them.
