&lt;p&gt;Dr. William Dyer, of Miskatonic University in New England, recounts his perspective of an Antarctic expedition leading to strange, enormous mountains deep within the frozen continent, hiding prehuman horrors only spoken of in esoteric tomes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reflecting &lt;a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/h-p-lovecraft"&gt;H. P. Lovecraft’s&lt;/a&gt; interest in the Antarctic—a continent still very unknown in the 1930s—this novella gives a very descriptive account of the geology and history of the Lovecraft universe. The dry, scientific text gradually becomes more suspenseful as the expedition uncovers more of the cosmic horrors Lovecraft is well known for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Taking inspiration from Edgar Allen Poe’s &lt;i&gt;Arthur Gordon Pym&lt;/i&gt;, geological discoveries in his time, and building on his world established in previous works, &lt;i&gt;At the Mountains of Madness&lt;/i&gt; establishes a story following the natural sense of mystery evoked by the frozen and uninhabited southernmost continent.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Then, in about an hour and a half more, came that doubly excited message from Lake’s moving plane, which almost reversed my sentiments and made me wish I had accompanied the party:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“10:05 <abbr class="eoc">p.m.</abbr> On the wing. After snowstorm, have spied mountain range ahead higher than any hitherto seen. May equal Himalayas, allowing for height of plateau. Probable Latitude 76° 15′, Longitude 113° 10′ E. Reaches far as can see to right and left. Suspicion of two smoking cones. All peaks black and bare of snow. Gale blowing off them impedes navigation.”</p>

<p>After that Pabodie, the men, and I hung breathlessly over the receiver. Thought of this titanic mountain rampart seven hundred miles away inflamed our deepest sense of adventure; and we rejoiced that our expedition, if not ourselves personally, had been its discoverers. In half an hour Lake called us again:</p>
