By then, it was actually impossible to find a foothold in the Arctic.
The disturbances in the sky could affect even Nanjiang's latitude. It was easy to imagine how astonishing the upheaval in the Arctic was.
Everywhere, the sky fell and the earth split. Undersea glaciers rose, glaciers above the sea collapsed, ice sheets whirled wildly, and freezing air swept across everything. Seawater roared, carrying enormous chunks of ice. It was an apocalyptic scene through and through, not a place where ordinary life could survive.
