As seen in The New York Times, Men's Journal, Smithsonian.com, and
The Guardian The author who Jeremy Scahill calls the
"quintessential unembedded reporter" visits "hot spots" around the
world in a global quest to discover how we will cope with our
planet's changing ecosystems After nearly a decade overseas as a
war reporter, the acclaimed journalist Dahr Jamail returned to
America to renew his passion for mountaineering, only to find that
the slopes he had once climbed have been irrevocably changed by
climate disruption. In response, Jamail embarks on a journey to the
geographical front lines of this crisis-from Alaska to Australia's
Great Barrier Reef, via the Amazon rainforest-in order to discover
the consequences to nature and to humans of the loss of ice. In The
End of Ice, we follow Jamail as he scales Denali, the highest peak
in North America, dives in the warm crystal waters of the Pacific
only to find ghostly coral reefs, and explores the tundra of St.
Paul Island where he meets the last subsistence seal hunters of the
Bering Sea and witnesses its melting glaciers. Accompanied by
climate scientists and people whose families have fished, farmed,
and lived in the areas he visits for centuries, Jamail begins to
accept the fact that Earth, most likely, is in a hospice situation.
Ironically, this allows him to renew his passion for the planet's
wild places, cherishing Earth in a way he has never been able to
before. Like no other book, The End of Ice offers a firsthand
chronicle-including photographs throughout of Jamail on his journey
across the world-of the catastrophic reality of our situation and
the incalculable necessity of relishing this vulnerable, fragile
planet while we still can.
