Novel written by Van Duijvenboden, published as set of two books; one in English and one in Dutch. Plateau features two scientists stationed on the Arctic drift ice for a year in the Cold War era.
"Except for the stars there were no reference points here: no hills, no mainland, no vegetation &ndash nothing that counterbalanced the uniform character of this frozen ocean landscape." The question how the expedition members should relate to this landscape forms the heart of a discussion which seems to be driving them apart.

Van Duijvenbodenの小説は英語とオランダ語の2冊組で出版された。Plateauは冷戦時代に1年間ほど北極の流氷に駐在した2人の科学者を取り上げる。
「星以外、ここには基準点となるものがなにもない。丘も、陸も、植物もない。この凍った海洋の景色という不変の特性が平衡を保つ。」
