Description
Glaciers have long fascinated Jemma Wadham, who has spent her career studying these icy landscapes. Today, they are facing unprecedented threats. As glaciers retreat in the Alps, Andes and Himalaya, and thinning ice sheets release meltwater into sensitive marine ecosystems, the potential consequences for humanity are alarming. Jemma's love affair with glaciers began as a student, sparked by an encounter that left her feeling alive. Over the past 25 years, she has embarked on numerous expeditions around the globe, from abseiling down crevasses to exploring ice caverns. Her experiences have given her a unique perspective on the importance of these coldest places on Earth. In Ice Rivers, Jemma shares her story, revealing why glaciers mean so much to her and what they should mean to us all. This is an eye-witness account by a leading scientist at the frontline of the climate crisis, and an impassioned love letter to the glaciers that have driven her career.
