The Vanishing Ice

BY IAIN CAMERON VERTEBRATE PUBLISHING £20.00

★★★★☆ Like a pirate in search of treasure, Iain Cameron scours Britain’s mountains for patches of surviving robust snow. From the opening story of Cameron battling a ferocious snowstorm in the Highlands to seek out an elusive patch of snow, I was enthralled. Yet, what I didn’t expect to feel was moved. Cameron’s childlike wonder and infinite love for the patches of vanishing ice is contagious. Interspersed with geography, history and meteorology, this book is an educational and thoroughly enjoyable read.
