Description
Summary:Although Greenland occasionally figures into news stories and debates about rising sea level and a warming Earth, the relevant historical background rarely enters into such discussions.

Jon Gertner's compelling book, The Ice at the End of the World, addresses this paucity with intelligence and insight.
