Cold Earth

Six young academics travel to a remote archaeological dig in Greenland, where they begin excavating the remains of an old Norse settlement. The camp is isolated, the weather is harsh, and each member of the group carries private baggage that begins to surface under pressure.

As reports of a spreading pandemic reach them, communication with the outside world becomes unreliable and then starts to fail. The group’s uneasy relationships sharpen while one narrator begins experiencing nightmares, strange sounds, and possible hauntings tied to the site they are disturbing.

The book unfolds through letters home and shifting first-person accounts, so the expedition is filtered through separate voices and private fears. As food dwindles and rescue grows uncertain, the story becomes as much about survival, grief, and group strain as about the archaeology itself.
