"Cooper Gosling is adrift at thirty, unmoored by a family tragedy and floundering in her career as a painter. So she applies to the National Science Foundation Artists & Writers Program and flees to Antarctica--the bottom of the Earth--where she encounters a group of misfits motivated by desires as ambiguous as her own ... The only thing they have in common is the conviction that they don't belong anywhere else. Enter Frank Pavano, a climatologist with unorthodox beliefs. His presence will rattle this already unbalanced community, bringing Cooper and the Polies to the center of a global controversy and threatening the 800-million-year-old ice chip they call home"-- Provided by publisher.
