內容簡介: |
The frozen rivers and sheets of ice known as glaciers can move
as slowly as a few inches a year, yet they are a powerful force
shaping the earth beneath and around them.Breathtaking photographs
mark this dramatic introduction to a beautiful yet frozen world of
mountaintops and polar regions.
