Icelandic composer Gabríel Ólafs’ new album Polar is a work of speculative fiction in musical form. Polar provides the soundtrack to a frozen world. A world of towering mountain ranges, desolate tundra, forbidding oceans, and the monolithic remnants of a lost civilization.

On Polar: Traveler’s Log we enter the POV of a lonely space traveler whose long journey culminates in an ill-fated passage through the icy landscapes of Polar. This special narrated edition of the album Polar by Icelandic composer Gabríel Ólafs features a short story by the Nebula, Hugo, and Locus Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling speculative fiction writer Rebecca Roanhorse (The Sixth World series, Between Earth and Sky trilogy). Rebecca’s text is delivered as a spoken word performance by Icelandic actress Hera Hilmar, best known for her starring roles in the Peter Jackson-produced steampunk feature film Mortal Engines and alongside Jason Momoa in the Apple TV+ science-fiction drama series See.
