This discovery made Peter’s heart beat faster with excitement. Who could have lived here in such a cold, lonely place? And how could they have survived? The thought that someone else was here, in this vast icy wilderness, made him even more eager to find out what had happened.
“No way…” Peter’s pulse quickened as he drew closer to a crude shelter hidden in an icy crevice. It was ingeniously constructed of a tarp, firmly anchored with ice axes, a beacon of survival in the desolate plain. With each tentative step toward the shelter, his heart raced with a mixture of fear and fascination. The thought of what – or who – might be inside sent a shiver down his spine.
