The beach was of dull-grey sand, and sloped steeply up to a ridge, perhaps sixty or seventy feet above the

For instance, it was the end of August at the level of the sea; in the Kandersteg valley at the base of the pass, we found flowers which would not be due at the

And you've got to correct it to

The Wieroo wheeled and dropped almost to

When I was in Switzerland I used to look with astonishment at the many ruins of feudal castles perched on the top of steep and rocky heights, half a mile at least above

I may mention that our aneroid shows us that in the continual incline which we have ascended since we abandoned our canoes we have risen to no less than three thousand feet above
sea-level. Hence there is a considerable change both in the temperature and in the vegetation.
One by one his worlds evaporated, rose beyond his vision as vapours in the hot alembic of the sun, sank for ever beneath
sea-levels, themselves unreal and passing as the phantoms of a dream.
Peter Huybers (professor of earth and planetary sciences), Jerry Mitrovica (professor of science), and Christopher Piecuch (assistant scientist at Woods Hole) used everything from tide gauges to GPS data to paint a picture of
sea-level rise along the East Coast of the U.S.
Harig, 2017: The increasing rate of global mean
sea-level rise during 1993-2014.
ISLAMABAD -- Owing to continuous emissions of greenhouse gases, increased global average
sea-level is likely to rise by nearly 8 feet by the year 2100 and 50 feet by 2300, as per a new study.
