Iceapelago is a plot-driven climate change thriller: a new cli-fi (climate fiction) genre. Rising sea levels caused by the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet and winter ice conditions resulting from the collapse of the Gulf Stream force the humans who survive to adapt. I flew over the top of the Ice Sheet and photographed seas of melting ice. Writing fiction has also opened my eyes to the complex and competitive world of publishing. It was inspired by my long interest over 20 years in climate change policy and climate science.
