In 2019, fifty-seven scientists and crew set off aboard the Nathaniel B. Palmer to explore the mysterious Thwaites Glacier at Antarctica’s western edge—an untouched icy frontier. Joining them, author Elizabeth Rush hunts for the glacier’s secret voice. Her tale mixes breathtaking scenes—the melting icecaps, wild Drake Passage waves, and strange glacier shapes.

As Elizabeth Rush navigates the wilds of Antarctica, she invites readers on a personal journey exploring what it means to create and celebrate life amid dramatic planetary shifts. The Quickening blends awe-inspiring nature with heartfelt reflection, showing how life finds a way even when the world is changing fast.
