A City Beneath the Ice

Written by Basmala Saleh Illustrations: AI-generated

At a research base in Antarctica, Leen, the daughter of a glacier scientist, notices a green light moving inside an ice core that is a million years old. The light leads her to an ice tunnel — and to a glowing city no human has ever seen... just days before the giant drilling machine is due to start work.
