The Cartography of Silence

About this book

In 2035, four children are left at a decommissioned weather station on the High Arctic archipelago of Svalbard while their parents conduct urgent permafrost research. Facing four months of total darkness during the 'Long Night', they begin to project their internal struggles onto the frozen landscape. To cope with the isolation, they create the 'Atlas of the Unseen', mapping their emotional journeys rather than the physical ice. Decades later, one of them, now an elderly cartographer, reflects on that transformative winter that shaped their lives forever.
