Expedition to the Mountains of Madness

The BBC reports that researchers are preparing for what could be the 'last great' antarctic expedition. The journey will take team to the heart of continent, where they will survey a vast buried moutain range. Dr Ferraccioli from the British Antarctic Survey says:

"This region is a complete enigma. It's in the middle of the continent. Most mountain ranges are on the edges of continents, and we really can't understand what these mountains are doing in the centre."

Such naivety.

"...but at this time and place, with those dark, unknown mountain peaks soaring stupendously ahead, that anomalous elder-world discovery in our minds, and the pall of probable disaster enveloping the greater part of our expedition, we all seemed to find in it a taint of latent malignity and infinitely evil portent." - At the Mountains of Madness
