At the Mountains of Madness

An Antarctic expedition led by Miskatonic University uncovers the frozen remains of unearthly creatures, and behind them, the ruins of an impossibly ancient city carved into the mountains. As geologist William Dyer pieces together what happened to a scouting party that went missing among the peaks, he uncovers a history of Earth that predates humanity by hundreds of millions of years, and a warning about what still sleeps within the ice. One of Lovecraft's most ambitious works, this novella expands the cosmic horror of the Cthulhu Mythos into a full scientific expedition narrative.
