Frozen Oceans by David Thomas
For many years seen as an obstacle to trade and a threat to human life, the ice itself is now perceived to be vulnerable as we come to realize the dangers posed by global warming. Sea ice not only dominates polar regions but is also central to global ocean circulation as well as global climate patterns.
I strongly recommend Frozen Oceans for experts and non-experts alike.. a readable and informative description of the pack ice.
David Thomas is a marine biologist at the University of Wales, Bangor, and has worked in polar regions since 1991. He has conducted several expeditions to the Antarctic and the Arctic and carried out research into the pack ice of the Baltic Sea. He has written popular science features about sea ice for Science, BBC Wildlife Magazine and New Scientist, and is author of Seaweeds (Natural History Musem, 2002) and the academic edition An Introduction to Sea Ice (Blackwells Scientific, 2003).
