Description
Ice Diaries: An Antarctic Memoir
British Canadian novelist Jean McNeil spent a year as writer-in-residence with the British Antarctic Survey, and four months on the world's most enigmatic continent - Antarctica. Her story is one of exploration, both of the physical landscape and her own inner world.
McNeil mixes travelogue, popular science, and memoir to examine the history of our fascination with ice, drawing on her experiences in Antarctica, Greenland, Iceland, and Svalbard. A haunting tale of beauty and terror, loss and transformation, Ice Diaries is a deeply personal exploration of how our climates of childhood shape us.
