I am always reading, and never the same genre. I thought it would be fun to share with you what I am reading and my thoughts about it all.

Riddle of the Ice by Myron Arms
Subtitle: A Scientific Adventure into the Arctic -- A very interesting book. We are constantly hearing about climate change and what it is doing to the environment. The first time Arms tried going to the Arctic Circle area he was blocked by ice, in July. It was not supposed to be there. This got him wondering as to what was going on. He did much research and talked to many scientists and such. A few years later he headed back and was able to go all the way up Greenland. Things were much different, but some of the encounters he had with locals let him know that things were changing. There are so many different currents and levels in the way the water moves and sometimes the flow seems to stop and scientists are trying to figure out why. At times in got a little more technical that what I could absorb, but the overall book was very informative and made you think about what is going on in the waters around us.
