Glacier Ice by Austin Post

The awesome beauty and majesty of glaciers are presented through more than 100 photographs.

"The photographs are unique, for no one else has taken so many extensive glacier-survey flights, and very few others possess the feeling for glaciers and alpine terrain expressed in these photographs. . . Glacier Ice is recommended highly for the glaciologist, geologist, mountaineer, or just anyone fascinated with the beauty of nature."

* American Scientist *

"This revised edition is a truly wonderful book for anyone who has an interest in glaciers, whether for scientific, mountaineering or purely aesthetic reasons."

* The Geographical Journal *

Austin Post , formerly a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, is a noted aerial photographer. Edward R. LaChapelle is professor emeritus of geophysics and atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington.
