Summary:
Millions of years ago, a meteor survived the plunge through the Earth’s atmosphere, impacting in the then warm climes of Antarctica… The first people to discover this land were a tribe of Polynesians. Despite the now freezing conditions, there was an abnormal abundance of life and the tribe settled, worshipping the meteorite crater for the powers it appeared to hold. Generations later though, catastrophic events forced them to flee in terror… Today, the same area is being excavated by the research company; RX Tech, who are picking up unusual readings from the meteorite’s impact zone. It is in this zone that they uncover the body of a sailor from Charles Darwin’s voyage on The Beagle. A few of the sailors had it seems, briefly explored the crater’s interior…
Following a story from one of the sailor’s journal, the research company have started to take a particular interest in, not only the crater area, but other parts of the globe where the sailors subsequently travelled to…and died in… One of these places is India – where Lara is currently searching for the legendary Infada artefact.
