Book excerpt: The year is 1907. Professor John Ivarsson's presence is requested by Sir Anthony Ross, whose son, Donald, has disappeared while on expedition in the arctic. An old journal document from a Hudson's Bay trading post tells of a mysterious island, set under a single cloud out on the ice floes, which is the graveyard of the whales, a place known only from folklore and legend. Ross' son had gone in search of the island, but when he didn't return, the letter describing its location was forwarded to him, along with an ancient artifact used for navigation. His interest piqued, Professor Ivarsson agrees to go on the journey.
