These are the ingredients that create the life story of the driest of Earth’s continents.About this EventHeart of Ice takes the reader on a compelling journey across space and time, navigating entangled stories of ice and rock, humans, animals and other species, through the prism of Antarctica’s ice. Joy McCann – author of the internationally acclaimed Wild Sea – eloquently draws on a vast body of scientific and historical research to explore how Antarctica’s ice sheets, its glaciers, ice shelves and sea ice, have been imagined, inhabited and invested with meaning over time. She invites readers to see this vast icy realm in a different way – as a vibrant, storied, multispecies environment and a powerful agent that has shaped (and continues to shape) our history and our planet.Joy will be joined in conversation with Emily Jateff, Head of Knowledge and Curator of Ocean Science at the Museum.About the AuthorJoy McCann is an Australian environmental and public historian who explores the interwoven histories of people, places, ideas and the nonhuman world. Recipient of a 2026 National Library of Australia Fellowship, Joy is an adjunct associate professor at the University of Tasmania and the author of Wild Sea: A History of the Southern Ocean and Ice Bound: The Australian Story of Antarctica.Copies of the books will be available for purchase and be signed by the author.For more information on any Members events please email memberevents@sea.museumNot a Member ?
