The previous version was full of spelling errors and awkward writing. I fixed the spelling, and made the writing slightly less awkward.

"Gifts of wandering ice" webcomic is based on the short novel written by Makarova Olga (Mildegard). The story differs a bit though. Both art and English translation were made by the author of the original novel.
Old world is dead. A catastrophe of forgotten origin had wiped the old civilization out. Ice age came after. And then - a thaw, when water levels rised tremendously and even ancient icebergs began to melt. People of this post-ice age are peaceful and remember very little of their history. They can only guess what it was like by the 'gifts' - objects and creatures wandering icebergs bring to their shore each spring. Sometimes these 'gifts' are dangerous, or even alive.
