Traveling across the Martian polar cap, the second TransPolar Expedition is tracing the shape of the hidden lands beneath the ice and snow. Sita, the expedition’s cartographer, has a talent for interpreting the shades and squiggles that the computer produces from satellite photos and sonic recordings. She takes ambiguous data and makes a clear and precise map of lands no one has ever seen. But Sita knows that maps are black-and-white portraits of a world that exists in shades of gray and, like cartographers before her, she knows that dragons lurk beyond the edges of every map. At night, in the darkness of her dreams, she believes in the yeti, the messengers from the secret lands, the dark-eyed dream beasts that haunt the crevasses and move as softly as the blowing snow. The world is not all that it seems on the surface. Beneath the polar ice lies danger and discovery. A novelette.… (mehr)

What could be better than a short story about Mars? I am not sure! This story is about a Martian expedition that is sent to map the hidden surface of Mars; Mars' surface is trapped under layers of ice and dust. The story is about the voyage into the unknown; to reveal what is in the so-called empty/barren places. What is really at the edge of the world? Are there dragons?

Sita, the cartographer in question, loves to draw maps to bring the hidden contours of the land out. She helps on the expedition by mapping out safe routes so their vehicles do not fall into treacherous ice caverns as the previous one had. One of the other things about Sita is that she 'sees' Yetis in the shadows. Yetis that beckon her to follow.

What I loved about this story is the blend of science and fantastical elements. Are the Yetis real or is Sita losing her mind? What is so cool about reading a new story is you are never sure where it will lead and this author keeps you guessing! (
