Your ending

Polar Legend

You read the ice, the weather and the bear, and brought the whole team home. The research station has named a hut after you. It has excellent ventilation.

  • Actually listened to the safety briefing
  • Apparently made of penguin

Best decision · #5

Light the stove and leave a vent open for fresh air

A bit of draught, a lot of warmth. The logbook says, in capitals, 'KEEP THE VENT OPEN'. You already had. Smug.

Fatal mistake · #2

Climb down to her yourself

You slip the last two metres onto the ledge. Now there are two of you down here. It takes Tom and Priya an hour to pull you both out.
