Lewis Page Mercier translation
Lord Dufferin and Karl Vogt were fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the wonderful snowy peak of the Beerenberg, rising isolated to a height of 6863 feet. “My delight was that of an anchorite catching a glimpse of the seventh heaven.” (Lord Dufferin, “Letters from High Latitudes,” p. 139, 5th Ed.)
