Climate Science From the Edge of Survival
Icefall pairs mountain scientist John All with veteran journalist John Balzar to recount All's expeditions into some of the planet's most remote and climatically sensitive regions, from Himalayan glaciers to Andean peaks.
At its centre is All's near fatal fall into a Himalayan crevasse, an ordeal he survived while documenting his own injuries, woven together with encounters with wildlife, avalanches and the everyday risks of fieldwork at altitude.
As founder of the American Climber Science Program, All writes about climate change as something measured and lived rather than debated, making this a compelling choice for readers drawn to adventure memoir with real scientific substance.
