Heart of Ice
Joy McCann
Crystal upon crystal, snow falls and builds and compresses, giving birth to the life story of Earth’s coldest, driest continent.
Heart of Ice takes readers on a compelling journey into Antarctic’s icy world. Joy McCann – author of the internationally acclaimed Wild Sea – draws on a vast body of scientific and historical research to discover entangled stories of ice, humans and the myriad creatures that inhabit this frigid realm. She reveals intimate and surprising tales of resilience and fragility, connection and belonging, and invites readers to see the ice of the southern polar region in a different way – as a vibrant, storied, multispecies environment and a powerful agent that has shaped our history, our planet and our future.
