Unfrozen: The Fight for the Future of the Arctic Mia Bennett & Klaus Dodds Yale Univ. Press (2025)
From the rising temperatures of the climate crisis to the cooling of relations between Arctic states, metaphors of hot and cold pop up frequently in discussions about the Arctic.
Political geographers Mia Bennett and Klaus Dodds put them to good effect in Unfrozen. The book covers a wide range of subjects, from Indigenous sovereignty to economic development, military infrastructure and scientific research. It is a comprehensive, informative and entertaining account of centuries of climate and geopolitical change in the Arctic, and a look at what the future might hold.
