No: Hun følte det var lurt å snu, men ville ikke virke feig.
En: She felt it was wise to turn back, but she didn't want to seem cowardly.

No: "Eirik," ropte hun over vinden, "det blir verre, skal vi snu?
En: "Eirik," she shouted over the wind, "it's getting worse, should we turn back?"

No: "Eirik stoppet opp, men nølte.

No: Han visste det var risikabelt, men presset fra sin egen frykt for å miste kontrollen drev ham videre.
En: He knew it was risky, but the pressure from his own fear of losing control drove him onward.

No: "Vi er nesten fremme," svarte han, mer til seg selv enn til Sigrid.
En: "We're almost there," he replied, more to himself than to Sigrid.

No: De fortsatte, men forholdene ble farlige.
En: They continued, but the conditions became dangerous.

En: Ice lay glistening over the rocks, and the wind seized them like an invisible force.

No: Plutselig gled Eirik.
