The glass cliff overlooks a lake where the beavers built a dam about a mile and a half long in a zigzag line, as their necessities prompted.
В одном месте над озером возвышался стекловидный утес, а на самом озере бобры возвели плотину мили полторы в длину. Плотина шла зигзагом, как этого требовали бобриные нужды.
