[UPDATE]
1) according to a note from the author (somewhere) there will be a sequel, but they don't know when.
2) if you read the news reviews on Amazon, you will find one that says the ocean struggle in The Ice Limits is one of the best ever. I haven't seen that many, but I believe it. The Amazon review lists a couple.
[/UPDATE]

This book published in 2000 is a very interesting novel about recovering a giant meteor from the Cape Horn islands. Sub theme is living and working on a converted oil tanker. But there is something strange about this meteor... it seems to kill people.

A wealthy collector wants it, the worlds largest meteor, to display in his museum, and nothing will get in his way.

I'll be digging to see if there was ever a sequel because it would be a good one.
