The Meaning of Ice celebrates Arctic sea ice as it’s seen and experienced by the Inuit, Iñupiat, and Inughuit, who for generations have lived with it and thrived on what it offers. With extensive details offered through their very own drawings and writings, this book describes the great depth of Inuit, Iñupiat, and Inughuit knowledge of sea ice and the very important and complex role it plays of their relationships with their environment and with one some other. Over forty Inuit, Iñupiat, and Inughuit from three different Arctic
communities contributed stories, original artwork, hand-drawn illustrations, maps, circle of relatives photos, or even recipes to this book. Professional and historical photographs, children’s artwork, and innovative graphics add more to the story of The Meaning of Ice.

The Meaning of Ice is the most important contribution to working out the Arctic and its people at a time when the region is undergoing profound change, not least in the case of sea ice. It takes readers beyond what sea ice is, to broaden our appreciation of what sea ice means.
