Sv: En lång, kall vind piskade snön över den arktiska tundran.
En: A long, cold wind whipped the snow across the arktiska tundran.

Sv: Det var vinter i Svalbard, och det lilla forskningsstationen kände sig som en ensam prick i ett vitt hav.

Sv: En dag började stormen byggas upp.

Sv: Mörkret la sig som en filt över dem.
En: Darkness fell over them like a blanket.

Sv: "Vad gör vi nu?"
En: "What do we do now?"

Sv: frågade Nils med en orolig röst.

Sv: När stormen äntligen gav med sig och gryningen bröt fram, tittade Elsa och Nils ut genom fönstret.
En: When the storm finally subsided and the dawn broke, Elsa and Nils looked out the window.

Sv: Snön låg tjock och skinande vit.

Sv: Arktiskens ensamhet hade gett vika för en nyfött förbindelse.
En: The loneliness of the Arctic had given way to a newly born connection.
