The Art of Glacier Travel Handbook

Over 130 pages of photos and examples of glacier travel and problem solving, to help you minimize the risks involved. It goes into depth about how to predict where you'll find crevasses, as well as when and how to use a rope for protection.

I would have liked to have it when I started to go into the glaciers.
