By seven that evening, Lidenbrock and the others have made their way to the snow level. It is cold and windy; Axel is exhausted. Hans states that they cannot stop yet because they are in the path of the “mistour,” a powerful waterspout. They rush away as fast as they can, thanking Hans for his life-saving advice. The men finally make it to the summit at eleven that evening.
