*A Newstatesman Book of the Year* 'Nimble, vital, unexpectedly
affecting' Observer Bestselling travel writer Horatio Clare joins
an icebreaker for a voyage through the ice-packs of the far north.
'We are celebrating a hundred years since independence this year:
how would you like to travel on a government icebreaker?' A message
from the Finnish embassy launches Horatio Clare on a voyage around
an extraordinary country and an unearthly place, the frozen Bay of
Bothnia, just short of the Arctic circle. Travelling with the crew
of Icebreaker Otso, Horatio, whose last adventure saw him embedded
on Maersk container vessels for the bestseller Down to the Sea in
Ships, discovers stories of Finland, of her mariners and of ice.
Aboard Otso Horatio gets to know the men who make up her crew, and
explores Finland's history and character. Surrounded by the
extraordinary colours and conditions of a frozen sea, he also comes
to understand something of the complexity and fragile beauty of
ice, a near-miraculous substance which cools the planet, gives the
stars their twinkle and which may hold all our futures in its
crystals.
