End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption

After a almost a decade as a war reporter, journalist Dahr Jamail returned to America to rekindle his passion for mountaineering. However, he discovered that climate disruption had irreversibly changed the slopes he once climbed.

The reader will follow Jamail as he scales Denali, dives in the waters of the Pacific, and explores the tundra of St. Paul Island. He meets the last subsistence seal hunters of the Bering Sea and witnesses its melting glaciers. Accompanied by climate scientists and people whose families have lived in the areas for centuries, Jamail finds and states that Earth is likely in a hospice situation. This realization allows him to cherish the planet’s wild places in a new way.

This book offers a firsthand chronicle of the catastrophic reality of our situation and the urgent need to relish this vulnerable, fragile planet while we still can.
