Poet Nancy Campbell spent seven years

heading into the world’s coldest places,

finding out all she could about ice and the

history it holds. From dusty archives to

the snow wastes of the Arctic, she looked

at the landscapes, studied the lore of the

people who inhabited these regions and

hung out with other artists who were

equally enchanted by this frozen world

• including one inspiring woman who
  used thesoundsoficetomakecrystalline
  music. There’s science here, too – from
  an earlytreatiseoncoldnesstomodern
  ice-core technology – as well as
  beautiful descriptions of this most
  changeable of environments. A magical
  and educational travelogue.
