This book is an excellent resource! Prior to an expedition a friend sent this to me. It was a humerous way to get a refresher on glacier living and hazards and provided lots of new and useful tid bits! An excellent learning tool for new climbers and a fun book for anyone, reagrdless of experience. Read it for any mountaineering expedition- you'll be sure to learn something.

I am the illustrator and co-author of this instructional book. This may seem like shameless self promotion, and I guess it is - but I am really proud of this totally cool book! There's two years of hard work crammed into these pages. Besides the all the drawings, I've done a whole lot of hands on work on glaciers in Alaska, Canada & the Cascades. Both Andy and I teach glacier rescue skills for an outdoor school (NOLS), and we've spent a lot of time trouble shooting and simplifying the complex systems you'll need know before setting foot on a glacier. Here's the bottom line - GLACIERS ARE DANGEROUS! Make sure you are educated (with this up-to-date book) if you plan on any kind of glacier travel! If nothing else, there are over 200 easy to read, step by step, technical illustrations that are fun to look at - and very informative!

Now I know more about what my son has been doing as he has taught about and lived on Glaciers. The words written by Andy Tyson, the author, and the drawings by Mike Clelland, the illustrator, clearly explain the basics as well as the dangers involved in Glacier Travel. It is a clever, technical, and amusing book. It was a wonderful Christmas present.
