Ice - is it a display of divine power, a challenge to heroes or a chilly reflection of our own ego? Does yet another glaciation threaten the earth, or will current glaciers disappear, along with today's civilisation? Throughout history, people have watched this cold companion warily, trying to fit it into their view of the world.
