Whiteout

How long can she survive? Expedition day: 152 Temperature: -69C 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.
