Riddle of the ice : a scientific adventure into the Arctic / Myron Arms.
"This nautical adventure set aboard a fifty-foot sailboat charts the bleakest and most awesome landscape on Earth--and one man's fierce will to understand it. By any account, the impenetrable barrier of sea ice that blocked the Brendan's Isle halfway up the Labrador Coast should not have been there in July, in the midst of one of the hottest summers on record just a few hundred miles to the south. Frustrated and mystified at having to turn back so early in his northbound voyage, sailor Myron Arms became determined to explain the unsettling anomaly. Three years later, having pursued this obsession from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Arms took his boat and a small crew back up the Labrador coast to test his ideas--this time making it past the Arctic circle. Weaving together the story of the tumultuous voyage with a groundbreaking synthesis of the latest theories about Arctic ice production--and the troubling signals they may now be sending--Riddle of the Ice is a taut, suspenseful science mystery with a message no one can afford to ignore."--Cover.
