About the cover: The cover illustrates an artist's rendering of a part of the Russell glacier in central-western Greenland, close to the village of Kangerlussuaq. It is one of many glaciers in which the Greenland ice sheet flows, and shows the gradual darkening of ice as the glacier thins towards the terminus.
