Millions of years ago, a meteor crashed on Earth, landing on Antarctica, then a tropical paradise. 

Today, the same area is being excavated by the research company RX Tech, who are picking up unusual readings from the meteorite's impact zone. It is here that they uncover the body of a sailor who served on Charles Darwin's expedition on the H.M.S. Beagle. A few of the sailors had apparently explored the crater's interior. 

Following clues from the sailor's journal, the researchers have expanded their search beyond the impact crater to other parts of the globe, where the Beagle's crew subsequently traveled and died. 

One of these places is India, where Lara is currently searching for the Infada Stone. Unaware of its true history, she only knows that in local beliefs it was supposed to hold great powers. Soon she will discover much more.
