9 "Hurry!" you yell. A moment later you see Dr. Sneed's reassuring
face on one side of the opening above you. Larsen peers over the other
side. "Don't worry," he calls. "Hey, what's..." Dr. Sneed's voice is
cut off as he slides over the icy lip of the crevasse. You watch with
horror as his body hurtles by, down into the abyss! You yell at Larsen
to get back from the edge. But a blur whirls by, and you feel the rush
of air as his body plummets after Sneed's. They're both gone, and now
you are alone, trapped on a narrow icy ledge. If only you had warned
them, you would have saved them and probably yourself too. Now your
chances look slim. A search helicopter might fly over. But will it
land? Will anyone ever find you down here? Will you even survive the
arctic night?
