'Those eyes. They were the faded blue of a clear winter sky, a luminous, translucent, glacier blue. They had invited me into a strange new world of isolation and loneliness, treacherous weather, icebergs and danger. And I had accepted. What had I done? I'd only met him in the pub an hour ago and I'd just agreed to go with him on his scientific expedition to a deserted island 600 miles from the North Pole. Just the two of us.' When Marie met a German professor in an arctic bar in Norway, her life took a turn for the extraordinary. She agreed to accompany him on a year long expedition to a remote, glaciated island with just two dogs for company. It would be like landing on the moon and living in a rabbit hutch.
