Foam flew from the barbarian’s lips as her maddening laughter floated back to him. Farther and farther into the wastes she led him. As the hours passed and the sun slid down its long slant to the horizon, the land changed; the wide plains gave way to low hills, marching upward in broken ranges. Far to the north he caught a glimpse of towering mountains, their eternal snows blue with distance and pink in the rays of the blood-red setting sun. In the darkling skies above them shone the flaring rays of the aurora. They spread fanwise into the sky — frosty blades of cold, flaming light, changing in color, growing and brightening.
Above him the skies glowed and crackled with strange lights and gleams (над ним небеса пылали и вспыхивали /со/ странными огнями и проблесками). The snow shone weirdly: now frosty blue, now icy crimson, now cold silver (снег сиял причудливо: то морозно синим, то ледяным малиновым, то холодным серебряным (цветом)). Through a shimmering, icy realm of enchantment Conan plunged doggedly onward (сквозь мерцающее ледяное царство волшебства / магии Конан бросился упрямо вперед), in a crystalline maze where the only reality was the white body dancing across the glittering snow beyond his reach — ever beyond his reach (в кристаллический лабиринт, где единственной реальностью было белое тело, танцующее по сверкающему снегу вне /его/ досягаемости — всегда вне /его/ досягаемости).

He did not wonder at the strangeness of it all — not even when two gigantic figures rose up to bar his way. The scales of their mail were white with hoarfrost; their helmets and axes were covered with ice. Snow sprinkled their locks, in their beards were spikes of icicles, and their eyes were as cold as the lights that streamed above them.
