From the publisher

"The Ice is a compilation of more about ice than you knew you wanted to know, yet sheer compelling significance holds attention page by page. . . . Pyne conveys a view of Antarctica that interweaves physical science with humanistic inquiry and perception. His audacity as well as his presentation warrant admiration, for the implications of The Ice are vast."--New York Times Book Review

First line

They raft across a wine-dark sea, sometimes isolated, sometimes strung together, circling the continent like gears within a vast orrery of floating ice.
