Laura T, Reviewer
The title, really, says it all. The ice that has been at the arctic and antarctic are vanishing in our lifetimes, and taking with it stories, and wildlife, and a way of life for people.
This is an amazing book showing that has gone before, in pre-historic times, as well as what is currently vanishing. Large pictures, with notes on each item in the picture make this an easy and informative read.
It turns out, there is quite a lot to be learned. Who knew, for example, that there are different types of fronts and ice. (as in hoar frost, needle ice, hair ice and front flowers)

Very informative book, about a region that may be all but lost due to climate change. Highly recommended for schools and libraries.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
