Cover of Ice Geographies: The Colonial Politics of Race & Indigeneity in the Arctic. The cover features an abstract art piece by Darcie Bernhardt. The piece is titled Beluga Hunting and depicts a light pink, green, and blue marbled pattern. Forked green and white lines within the pattern evoke topographic striations.

One of our new and exciting titles out this May is "Ice Geographies" by Jen Rose Smith @sprucehen.bsky.social . #EnvironmentalStudies #Geography
