Under Arctic Ice

In a drab, silent house far from the Arctic coast, the restless Ken Torrance watches a newspaper report of the missing submarine Peary, whose crew have run out of air after a full month beneath the ice. The news is a shock—he had no idea the expedition existed, and the doctors who have kept him under strict observation forbid any involvement. Anger and urgency drive him to defy the guards and plan a desperate trek north, hoping to reach the doomed vessel before it’s too late.

The story hints at an earlier, uncanny encounter with half‑seal creatures living beneath the polar ice, where Torrance barely escaped a subterranean prison with his fellow torpooner, Chanley Beddoes. Those strange beings and the relentless Arctic environment promise a perilous journey, as the protagonist wrestles with his own captivity and the looming mystery beneath the frozen sea. Listeners are drawn into a tense, claustrophobic race against time, where every decision could mean life or death for the men trapped below.
