Stories of Ice: Adventure, Commerce and Creativity on Canada's Glaciers

By Lynn Martel

Mountain journalist Lynn Martel explores Canada's glaciers through the people who study, travel, work, create and take risks on ice.

Stories of Ice treats glaciers as living workplaces, laboratories, travel corridors and sources of artistic inspiration rather than distant scenery. Martel follows scientists, adventurers, artists, business operators and conservationists whose lives bring them into direct contact with changing ice across western Canada.

The stories range from a mother and daughter spending months skiing across icefields between Vancouver and Alaska to researchers examining life inside glacier caverns and citizens working to protect local ice. Outdoor photography adds a strong visual dimension while the reporting connects individual experiences to broader questions about climate change and the future of glaciers.

The book combines mountain adventure, environmental writing and accessible science. It is suited to readers interested in glaciers, Canadian mountain landscapes, climate change, field research and the many ways people continue to live and work in environments that are rapidly changing.
