From the introduction: Antarctica, the final continent, is the mother of all blank spots on the map. Its frozen reaches are largely unexplored, and most the land has yet to be seen by human eyes. The heroes are part of an expedition that seeks to travel to the interior of the continent. In this, they will face rival expeditions, plotting secret societies and the challenges of the frozen wastes. But nothing can prepare them for the shock of what awaits where no human has yet to tread.
