Summary |
"A pioneering researcher's illuminating account of Arctic ice--its secret history and dire future. Tedesco unearths its secrets--from evidence of long-extinct "polar camels" to fantastically weird microorganisms living at freezing temperature in cryoconite holes--and weaves together the bald facts on climate change with poetic reflections on this endangered landscape, epic tales of Arctic explorers, and the legends of the rare local populations"-- Provided by publisher. |
