Surviving Antarctica takes place in the year 2083 in a television crazed country of America. The Secretary of "Entertainment" is the Head of the Department of Entertainment, and basically the USA! Public schools shut down and are replaced with "Edu-TV" which are lessons with Interactive Quizzes on a television screen. It is mandatory and only goes up to Eighth Grade. After completing the required Eighth Year of Edu-TV, one must pay for High School and College. In the year 2083, America is awfully poor and very bad in the economy. People live in shacks worse than Hoovervilles during the Great Depression. So to pay for further education, a few sponsored scholarships are given out. The most popular is "The Toss" which is a game of pure chance. A person calls out a number, and the 14 year-old wishing for the full scholarship rolls a die, hoping it will land on that number.
Five kids (out of billions) didn't make it. In Edu-TV the Social Studies/History show is called "Historical Survivor". The Secretary of DOE (aka "Hot Sauce" by her nightshift employees) gathers a "lucky few" to re-enact parts of history. The five kids (Robert, Polly, Grace, Andrew, and Billy) see an advertisement by Hot Sauce for a new Historical Survivor Series that features kids. It is called "Historical Survivor: Antarctica". She offers large amounts of money to whoever is chosen to re-enact the expedition of Robert F. Scott. They had to fill out an application to be eligible.
