Reviews

The Wall Street Journal
"The Telescope in the Ice is richly intimate … . Human emotions are palpable in the author's you-are-there framing. The drilling of ice holes, for example, becomes a nail-biting contest between brute force and finesse, the team (and the reader) ever alert to the mechanical shudder that precedes calamity. All this in a windswept, snowbound wasteland. Is there any keener expression of scientists' dedication to the pursuit of knowledge?"
