The Ice at the End of the World: An Epic Journey into Greenland’s Buried Past and Our Perilous Future

byJon Gertner

Focused on an Epic Journey into Greenland’s Buried Past and Our Perilous Future, The Ice at the End of the World brings Jon Gertner's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of history and nature. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
