Gold—gold everywhere! Like a sea of gold, its radiance shone up from beneath the ice. In an instant, the entire Treasure Ice Sheet looked like an unbelievable ocean of gold.
When they had first arrived, they had only stood on the side of the Treasure Ice Sheet, so all they had seen was a cross-section of the treasure. It had not felt particularly breathtaking.
