Well, it only extends. It can't prolong the inevitable. I mean, who's to say how long the people may have lasted? I looked at it again, and apparently the Eskimos found a trail of tracks eventually leading away from the ship's approximate location (based on their last visual sighting). Never found any bodies, though.

I do like that the artifact would create ice. What if it prolongs the life of those who stay close to it, but attracts ice and will surround the survivors? The artifact will only extend life so long as there is no ice, and depending on the surrounding area and season at the time of activation could last anywhere from a week to a month?

. . . . I just realized I made that rather complicated.
