" 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 ReviewTags
