[Footnote 269: Even pretty far south, in Scandinavia, there occur places with frozen earth which seldom thaws. Thus in Egyptinkorpi mosses in Nurmi and Pjeli parishes in Finland pinewoods are found growing over layers or "tufts" of frozen sand, but also, in other places in Eastern Finland, we find layers containing stumps, roots, &c., of different generations of trees, alternating with layers of frozen mould, according to a communication from the agronomic Axel Asplund. A contribution to the knowledge of the way, or one of the ways, in which such formations arise, we obtain from the known fact that mines with an opening to the air, so far south as the middle of Sweden, are filled in a few years with a coherent ma.s.s of ice if the opening is allowed to remain open. If it is shut the ice melts again, but for this decades are required. ]

[Footnote 270: Middendorff already states that the bottom of the sea of Okotsk is frozen (_Sibirische Reise_, Bd. 4, 1, p. 502). ]
