Opening Story for an Eye-Opening Book: The Finnish writer Kauko Loukas has written a book about a disaster scenario of gigantic proportions. The area and environment are chilling exotic as the attention is directed to the scenes of Greenland with its vast ice fields. Their role is important in an equally large scale thrilling story about the forces of nature in work with their immense erupting potential. One day, the huge glacier starts to discharge violently into the Arctic sea. Is it possible that something ominous could happen in Greenland causing the floodgates to break, so to speak? According to writer Loukas it is really possible, and there may be not only one catastrophe looming but two, the other one in the Antarctic. They both together create a never seen wild vision about what secrets and threats this planet may hold, without the people even being aware of them. This book pertains to physics, not forgetting imagination and spiritual aspects either. You are invited to read it open-mindedly. It may surprise you. Although the book discusses an ice-cold natural upheaval, as its name, "Ice-Shedding of Ages" suggests, you are promised that it won't leave you cold. If you are not merely interested in disasters but also a personal autobiography in an anthropologically interesting region, this book provides an added bonus to you. The writer has his family roots in the renowned Lapland, in the surroundings of the Arctic Circle, in Finland. He tells a colourful, personal story too.
