I see that this sentence is in a reading comprehension exercise near the bottom of this web page: http://www.englishtime.us/learningenglish/testcenter/IntermediateTest.aspx?id=692a0a1f-66b9-43d0-b868-84e27887b185 The sentence is unclear and does not use correct English. There are other grammatical errors in that reading passage. I think the writer of the reading passage probably does not speak English as a first language. Many other resources at this Englishtime web site may be very useful, but this particular reading passage has several language errors in it. So don't worry! You are right to be confused by the sentence! :)

Dear! This is a use of climax, a figure of speech. This is used to show ideas in increasing order. Here we can see the supreme form of peace, which is spreading from this very point to the extreme points. So, this sentence simply means " Peace all around'. use- I was standing on an ice sheet which was one meter thick and floating in the ocean. The one point of calm was to the very end there and I felt a strange fear.
