The book explores the phenomena of subterranean ice formations known as glacières, documenting the author's personal experiences and observations of various freezing caverns throughout Europe. Balch emphasizes the unique characteristics and environmental conditions that contribute to the formation and maintenance of these icy caves. At the start of the work, the author recounts his initial encounter with subterranean ice while descending King's Ravine on Mount Adams, where he was surprised to find ice present even in late summer. He then describes his travels through the Alps and visits to several glacières in France, capturing the details of each location's unique features, like ice columns and stalactites. This opening section not only sets the tone for an adventurous exploration of nature but also invites readers into a scientific inquiry about climatic conditions, geology, and the mesmerizing beauty found within these natural wonders.
