The specific location of the poem is never described. Instead, it takes place as a series of images of different places. The speaker imagines herself on a bus, among glaciers, looking at mountains. However, this is not meant to depict any singular real place. Instead, it is a representation of the idea of being on a journey. The lack of a single, cohesive setting allows the audience to, in essence, "join" the speaker on her journey, voyaging from one place to the next through a series of loosely connected images that expresses the speaker's inner state.
