2017 Reading Challenge discussion

Finally found friendly librarian...

She knew which book immediately (a good sign I think)

a fictionalised account of the heroic life of Alfred Wegener. His accomplishments were quite astonishing: he established how craters were formed on the moon, how raindrops form in clouds, and how to predict the site of meteorite impact craters. He also mapped unexplored areas of the Greenland and established many world records in Arctic travel and aeronautics. But the main reason that Alfred Wegener is remembered today is for his development and defence of his contentious theory of Continental Drift. He received widespread ridicule for his ideas and tragically did not live to witness its general acceptance by the scientific community in the 1960s.

I haven't read it yet, but it sounds promising. The first few pages describe ice... the descriptions are beautiful!
