Hmmm... yes, now that I think of it.. a giant floating mountain, able to sink
steel ships, full of penguins.. *shudder* :)
My dictionary reads "jäälautta: [ice] floe", so how about adding the "ice"
before the "floe"? When I first saw the word in an earlier version of Pingus,
I actually thought it was a typo, too.
