Now it's really hard to grasp the scale of these places, because as the glaciers — one of the things is that places like Alaska and Greenland are huge, they're not normal landscapes — but as the glaciers are retreating, they're also deflating, like air is being let out of a balloon.
Масштабы подобных мест очень трудно себе представить хотя бы потому, что такие места, как Аляска и Гренландия, имеют огромные размеры и их нельзя отнести к обычным ландшафтам.
