Can you imagine a world with ice?

Phil Steinberg explains the rationale behind a workshop at Durham next week, at which I am one of the invited discussants. I say a bit about how my work on territory might relate to the Arctic, and ice, in this post.

Lots of people are wondering what it would mean to have a world without ice.

In fact, ice is likely to become more important as commercial enterprises and the states that support them become increasingly active in the polar regions.
