Surviving Antarctica

Captain Robert F. Scott's failed 1912 effort at reaching the South Pole first is the focus of a terrifying new version of HISTORICAL SURVIVOR, an extreme reality show hosted by the government's Department of Entertainment in the year 2083. In a future where school is televised, higher education is an option only with a lucky dice throw, and epidemic illnesses run rampant, five 14-year-olds embark on a dangerous journey through the frigid, snowbound world of Antarctica. Their lives are at stake in a deranged reenactment of history, and America will be watching as they risk everything for a cash prize. In this chilling exploration of post-nuclear existence, government corruption, and consumer culture, five teens will have to fight starvation, cold, and illness to remain alive.
