What is science communication? This collection proposes that it can be creative writing aimed at the heart, rather than information directed to the mind. FicSci playfully subverts the term 'science fi ction' to off er an experimental process that explores the limits of imagination in relation to scientifi c possibility (and vice versa). FicSci is an experiment in hybridised creative practice that induces new forms of knowledge-making between the hard sciences and the social world. This collection off ers writing that emerged from an encounter bringing together creative writers with a sea ice scientist based in a chemical and materials engineering department. The presented research invited contemplation of scientifi c aspects of the properties, formation and behaviour of sea ice, especially in the Southern Ocean. The creative writings that emerged off er new directions for thinking about the relation between creative expression and Antarctic science.
