Quotations
1942
Earthing . . . is done by moistening peat--decayed leaf-mould from the muskegs--and smearing it along the runner, where it freezes solidly and can be smoothed to form a fine, icy surface. Earthing . . . is always resorted to by careful and skillful Eskimos under the right conditions.
