Lost World: Antarctica
Antarctica, the seventh continent and of ice and snow. For centuries, it was unknown to humanity until the 1840s. When the Americans and French discovered the isolated land for the first time. With the French setting foot on the continent for the first time. Since then, there have been several expeditions to explore Antarctica, and a treaty was signed to safeguard the land from most human activities, safe for science and tourism.
Which to most, Antarctica is just a land of nothing but ice and snow. They would be right and only a few thousand people would live in Antarctica as scientists to study it. However, there have been discoveries that Antarctica had once been a much warmer place. Fossilized plants have been uncovered that hint that the land had once been tropical in the far past. Giving the thought to what could have once lived in Antarctica. But, any more fossils and ideas would be buried deep beneath the ice.
Then, a major discovery was made in 2023 in the McMurdo Sound. Thanks to global warming, the resulting melting ice saw a glacier break off and collapse into the sea, and to everyone's surprise. Laying exposed was an ancient stone temple. When it was discovered, a team of scientists was summoned and dispatched to the site as soon as possible. Proof that sentient life had once lived in this frozen land, and many were eager to study this temple.
But, for a group of scientists would do more than just study the temple. For in the main chamber of the temple while studying it, the temple would activate and send the group far into the past. Back when Antarctica was lush and green. Now in this unknown land, these scientists now have to survive and in the process. Learn more about what had lived in the land, both the animal and the sentient, and perhaps find a way home. If they can find a way home.

Overview:
Hello and welcome to the rp. This is a reboot of a idea I tried a couple of years ago and thought to try again. So as you can see, you will be playing as scientists that have been sent back in time to when Antarctica was lush and full of life. Though I will be allowing non-scientists in the rp as long as it makes sense for them to be there. What you will encounter in green Antarctica life that includes dinosaurs, non dinos, flora both common and unique, rare minerals/rocks, an unknown sentient race, and some magic in that mix.
While trying to survive in this lush Antarctica and maybe make some friends or foes in their journey to find a way back home and to the present. Which I will be doing less linear survival rp, mainly after the first act, the characters are free to do what they desire. So while there will be only one way home, there will be several ways to reach that end goal of going home. And hopefully not get eaten in the process.
So that is it and if anyone has questions, feel free to ask.
