The word I choose is “it crackled it growled and roared and howled” I choosed this because it shows what the people on the boat thought what the ice sounded like and the author is using lots of personifacaton for the ice, there also exaggerating to much because only predators roar and Howl and I he ice is not a predator. predators scare other animals and people so what they are trying to say is the ice is scarying people.
