Ice turning was drawn
in response to the animation,
Ice sound:

This animation visualises
words from Jack Ward's
1955 Mawson diary:

A long whine,
almost a horse's whinny,
comes from the ice,
and at times
strangely
like a bird call.

Dots and lines
represent bird calls
that Ward imagined
emerging from the ice.
