A True Story of Disaster and Survival on the Antarctic Seas

Mysterious Radio: Paranormal, UFO and Lore Interviews

On June 6th, 1998, 23-year-old Matt Lewis set out on what was supposed to be his dream job—working as a scientific observer aboard a deep-sea fishing vessel in the Antarctic Sea. But when a violent storm erupted, towering waves swallowed the deck, and the ship’s fate was sealed.

In Last Man Off, Lewis recounts the terrifying sequence of events that unfolded:

• The crew’s desperate struggle as their vessel was battered by hurricane-force winds and icy waters.
• The fight to launch three life rafts, where survival depended on quick thinking and sheer willpower.
• The tragic losses that would haunt the survivors and test their strength against the most unforgiving environment on Earth.

Lewis not only tells a story of tragedy and endurance, but also reveals what it means to confront the full force of nature in one of the world’s most remote and hostile regions.
