Their adventure takes them from Arctic Sweden to Inuit polar bear country in Canada to Antarctica.  BLAST! is about the crazy life of scientists. Their professional obsessions, personal and family sacrifices, and philosophical and religious questioning all give emotional resonance to a spectacular and suspenseful story of space exploration.
