Four months into an urgent scientific research trip at a remote field station deep in Antarctica, glaciologist Rachael Beckett loses all communication with base camp.

Trapped in perpetual darkness and brutal sub-zero blizzards, she receives a single, horrifying loop on an emergency radio broadcast: a catastrophic nuclear war has broken out, and she may be the last survivor on Earth.

As a lone scientist fighting for survival in the most hostile environment on Earth, Rachael faces an grueling battle against starvation, extreme isolation, and overwhelming grief. But as the polar winter deepens, a terrifying realization takes hold: she is not as alone in the dark as she thinks _________________________Lost in Antarctica.How long can she survive? My name is Rachael, and I’m on a solo Antarctic expedition.

But a month ago I lost contact with basecamp.

No radio. No sat phones. Just static.

Only one thing has reached me: a BBC World Service broadcast, reporting a nuclear strike on the UK.

I’m safe for fourteen more days in my little hut at the bottom of the world. But I can’t stay here forever, I have to find out what’s happened.

Even if there’s no one left to tell.
