Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A riveting, urgent account of the explorers and scientists racing to understand the rapidly melting ice sheet in Greenland, a dramatic harbinger of climate changeJon Gertner takes readers to spots few journalists or even explorers have visited. The result is a gripping and important book.Eliza…beth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of The Sixth ExtinctionNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post The Christian Science Monitor Library Journal Greenland: a remote, mysterious island five times the size of California but with a population of just 56,000. The ice sheet that covers it is 700 miles wide and 1,500 miles long, and is composed of nearly three quadrillion tons of ice. For the last 150 years, explorers and scientists have sought to understand Greenlandat first hoping that it would serve as a gateway to the North Pole, and later coming to realize that it contained essential information about our climate. Locked within this vast and frozen white desert are some of the most profound secrets about our planet and its future. Greenlands ice doesnt just tell us where weve been. More urgently, it tells us where were headed. In The Ice at the End of the World, Jon Gertner explains how Greenland has evolved from one of earths last frontiers to its largest scientific laboratory. The history of Greenlands ice begins with the explorers who arrived here at the turn of the twentieth centuryfirst on foot, then on skis, then on crude, motorized sledsand embarked on grueling expeditions that took as long as a year and often ended in frostbitten tragedy. Their original goal was simple: to conquer Greenlands seemingly infinite interior. Yet their efforts eventually gave way to scientists who built lonely encampments out on the ice and began drillingone mile, two miles down. Their aim was to pull up ice cores that could reveal the deepest mysteries of earths past, going back hundreds of thousands of years. Today, scientists from all over the world are deploying every technological tool available to uncover the secrets of this frozen island before its too late. As Greenlands ice melts and runs off into the sea, it not only threatens to affect hundreds of millions of people who live in coastal areas. It will also have drastic effects on ocean currents, weather systems, economies, and migration patterns. Gertner chronicles the unfathomable hardships, amazing discoveries, and scientific achievements of the Arctics explorers and researchers with a transporting, deeply intelligent styleand a keen sense of what this work means for the rest of us. The melting ice sheet in Greenland is, in a way, an analog for time. It contains the past. It reflects the present. It can also tell us how much time we might have left. Presents an urgent account of the explorers and scientists racing to understand the rapidly melting ice sheet in Greenland and what it reveals about climate change. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
