"The
stories steam with an ice-cold feel. Fog, cold, no sun, gray in gray,
wet in wet. One almost gets wet hands just from reading … Magnificent …
with this little piece of Galathea poetry Laila Ingrid Rasmussen evokes
pictures of a world not for humans."
- MICHAEL STOLTZE,
KRISTELIGT DAGBLAD
"In the short one-two pages texts Laila Ingrid Rasmussen writes in
an almost mythical prose about the ocean stretching endlessly along the
curve of the earth and underneath the ship – about life, death and all
of the peculiar organisms inhabiting the ocean that we did not know
existed … she writes as if from another world – a world that only the
minority of us will ever experience. A world yet filled with
astonishment."
- MARIA PAPA,
LITTERATURNU.DK
"... Small fascinating texts where Laila Ingrid Rasmussen draws on
the literary heritage … with a secure grip around the diction and rich
associations … the project is good and serving as model. To put words to
great and incomprehensible subjects."
- MICHAEL BALLE JENSEN,
SENTURA
"The book can be read as an account of a journey from a voyage
along Antarctica as well as small philosophical essays on the meaning of
life … it is in every aspect a beautiful and sensuous narrative from the
Galathea 3 expedition’s trip along Antarctica."
- DBC
"A month long trip along with science people, journalists and sailors –
surrounded by an endless ocean, fog, and handed over to the forces of a
stronger nature … overall and in detail Rasmussen narrates on various
phenomenon and she does it well. So well in fact that the most important
criticism befalls the size."
