When we imagine the polar regions, we see a largely lifeless world covered in snow and ice where icebergs drift listlessly through frozen waters, like solitary wanderers of the oceans floating aimlessly in total silence. But nothing could be further from the truth.This book takes us into the secret world of icebergs and glaciers to discover what they are really like. Through a series of historical vignettes recalling some of the most tragic and most exhilarating encounters between human beings and these gigantic pieces of ice and through vivid descriptions of their cycles of creation and destruction, Olivier Remaud shows that these entities are teeming with many forms of life and that there is a deep continuity between iceberg life and human life, a complex web of reciprocal interconnections that can lead from the deadliest to the most vital. And precisely because there is this continuity, icebergs and glaciers tell us something important about life itself - namely, that it thrives in the most unexpected of places, even where there seems to be no life at all.At a time when we are increasingly aware that the melting of icebergs, glaciers and sea-ice is one of the many disastrous consequences of global warming, this beautiful meditation on the largely unknown worlds of icebergs and glaciers is a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of all life and the fragility of the Earth's ecosystems.
