A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books and part of the beech-coloured laminate floor.

On the left, standing up, Antarctica: An Intimate Portrait of the World's Most Mysterious Continent, showing a blue hardback with a colour photo of the sea filled with large chunks of floating ice against a cloudy blue sky and a single penguin in the bottom left corner.

In the middle, lying down, The Ice Finders, showing a small hardback with a large black band at the bottom with the subtitle, and a narrow white band across the top with the title and a colour photo of icebergs floating in water.

On the right, standing up, Glaciovolcanism on Earth and Mars, showing a white hardback with a close-up photo of a field of snow with red-hot glowing lava flowing over it. The lava is crusting over in many places.
