The book provides a comprehensive overview of the formation, structure, and movement of ice, as well as its impact on the landscape and the environment. Bonney explores the different types of ice, including glaciers, icebergs, and sea ice, and discusses their physical properties, such as density, viscosity, and elasticity. He also examines the role of ice in shaping the earth's surface, from the formation of valleys and lakes to the erosion of mountains and coastlines. The book also delves into the cultural and historical significance of ice, including its use in transportation, industry, and art. Bonney draws on his extensive experience as a geologist and mountaineer to provide a detailed and engaging account of the science and history of ice.
