Loved it!

One minute it's Armageddon,then it's survival and then breeding life. 
adventurous fast-paced

'People had thirty days to reach the continent of Antarctica. It was unclear what would happen to anyone who didn’t make it in time, no threats were issued and no consequences were spelled out.'

Speculative fiction about what a rebuilding of society on Antarctica might look like. There are deep discussions about humanity and thought-provoking scenarios, but my favorite thing is that it has shades of The Island of Doctor Moreau. 

'A new people are coming.'
