Vanishing Ice in art

From the publisher, here is a bit of Vanishing Ice: Alpine and Polar Landscapes in Art, 1775-2012 by Barbara Matilsky:

Beginning in the eighteenth century, collaborations between the arts and sciences contributed to a deeper understanding of snowcapped mountains, the Arctic, and Antarctica. A resurgence of interest in these environments as dramatic indicators of climate change galvanizes contemporary expeditions to the glaciers and the poles. Today, artists, writers, and scientists awaken the world to both the beauty and increasing vulnerability of ice.

For a thousand different reasons, this book appeals to me in a very big way. I saw a copy at PNBA but it was sealed so I couldn't get a look at the interior illustrations. There is an exhibition at the Whatcom Museum however that gives a hint of what's inside. You can also read this article in The Oregonian.
