A scientific expedition to the continent of Antarctica discovers something no human had ever seen. A seemingly endless horizon of monstrous mountains beyond which is madness. This was one of the best stories all around of Lovecraft that I had ever read. The story has a terrific build up, and quickly transfers into a high paced scientific investigation beyond anything humanity has ever discovered. A city of such ancient origins is discovered that holds secrets underneath that the finders wished they had never found. I thought that this tale was an incredible example of the writing talent of Lovecraft.

When you read this story did you think after that this was one of his best stories? Which part of this story did you like the most?
