Summary Two science students, Daniel Morin and Andrea Hawkes, investigate the sea ice in the Canadian Arctic archipelago. Their theory is that, like a line of demarcation, it separates two worlds as different as two distant planets: the world below, home to whales and other ocean-dwelling creatures, and the world above, home to humans and polar bears. In the heart of this great white desert is a mystery. Why is this vast expanse of ice studded with polynya- stretches of seawater that never freeze? The waters of the polynya, veritable polar oases crawling with life, offer a refuge to many animals. An inquiry into the mystery of these waters that never freeze marks the beginning of a polar odyssey that leads our two protagonists hundreds of miles over the ice surrounding Baffin Island.
