Whiteout

Lost in Antarctica.
How long can she survive?
Expedition day: 152


Temperature: -69°C


Location: Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica. Deep field.


Situation: Bleak.


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.
