The story is set in a climate change dystopia in which the coastal areas of most countries are under water and many islands have disappeared. There are major engineering projects to try to save what is left and to provide places for the displaced to live. The project in Antarctica, where the story takes place, is to try to keep the Antarctic ice sheet from melting and inundating more land.
