Managed to get through first 16% and gave up. As far as I got, this is a story about a scientific exploration/expedition to the antarctic to research curious smoke+lights satellite photos. Chris, the leader, manages to buy a boat plus items too numerous to count or expensive to imagine with grant money! This by itself is pure fiction (no science). With frequent flashbacks to his own childhood and his fatherly interest in a couple of young scientists under his aegis, the story shambles on, aimlessly. First and foremost - terrible grammar, syntax, spelling, you name it. Very close to American English, but not quite there. I could forgive some of it if there was a real glimmer of interesting plot - but no such chance, at least to the place I managed to slug through. Very bad.
