Summary
From avalanches to glaciers, seals to snowflakes, and Shackleton's expedition to "The Year Without Summer," Streever journeys through history, myth, geography, and ecology in a year-long search for cold, real, icy, 40-below cold. He finds it while taking a dip in a 35-degree Arctic swimming hole, excavating our planet's ancient and not so ancient ice ages, and exploring hibernation habits in animals, from humans to wood frogs to bears. c2009
