This bi-annual list of glaciological literature aims to cover the scientific aspects of snow and ice in all parts of the world. Attention is drawn to the bibliographies in each number of The Polar Record (Cambridge), which aim to cover the significant work dealing with expeditions, research, equipment and conditions of living in the Polar regions. Both journals, however, deal with Polar literature having specific glaciological interest and with general matters of a practical nature such as snowcraft.
