Whatever Beethoven had in mind in his Fifth, it is my totem for a year spent at Heard Island.
Fred Elliott, Melbourne 2008
There is no other music like the toneless music of millions of years of accumulated silence, through which come bars of unearthly colours. There is no need for ears to hear the fugues played on this ice organ. Here nature has set aside for man a domain of beauty and inspiration such as he cannot know elsewhere on this planet.
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd (1947), cited in Kural, 2006
