📚 Glaciology

Ice that moves: glacier flow, the records frozen inside them, and the seas they are currently raising.

Below are the 30 works carrying the subject glaciology in the Open Library catalogue with the most editions in print. Author and first year are as the record states them; a missing year means the record does not carry one, not that the book is undated. Novels set in the subject are left out, because a list of historical fiction is not a list of history. Where one author dominates the reprint counts, no more than two of their titles appear.
