The oceans are deeper now that the ice age is over. Beringia is cut in half by Bering Strait, ready for Silent Sound to sail through. Sea level is of global warming but at the same time the Earth's crust, which sagged under the weight of the huge ice sheets, is itself very gradually rebounding now that the ice load on North America is gone. It's remotely possible that the rise of the crust will one day overtake the rise in sea level. If it does, Bering Strait will again cease to exist.

“A madness fell upon our Lords and Masters, who came to believe that they could control the clouds and the weather by changing how we worked here on the ground. All sources of power and drive were sealed away and forbidden, save only that of wind and footed wheel. Soon, we produced so little as an island that all trading stopped. Now the only work that men can do is turn the wheels when the wind blows either too slow or too fast.”

“How oft is that?’ I cried.

“On these cliffs, the wind blows well for some twenty-five days out of each hard hundred, but in the valley there [he pointed to a bosomed cleavage in the land] it is far, far worse, with good winds on five to seven days alone. And then, Sir, there are the storms that smash the blades, and even uproot the giant poles themselves. It is a thankless task, like that of Sisyphus, son of the King Aeolus of Thessaly and Enarete.”

“But why do you not go back to your older and better ways?”
