Description

Antarctica. It is a place of frozen wastes, desolation and things best left forgotten. Presented here is the tale of William Dyer, a professor from Miskatonic University and the leader of an ill-fated expedition to that remove and forlorn continent. Recorded in a series of letters, Dyers tells a scarely believable tale full of anomalous and often horrific events. Dreadful secrets lie beneath the ice, waiting to be discovered. Strange, cyclopean structures squat amidst the mountains towering in the distance, promising only madness to those who dare explore their alien architecture. The Dyer Expedition ventures further than any other before them, and ultimately pays the price for it. --Back cover.

I appreciate the publisher's acknowledgement of Lovecraft's racist views and their renunciation of them.

Local notes

Arkham, 1933. Professor Dyer, a prominent geologist, learns that a scientific expedition will soon leave for Antarctica following in the footsteps of the journey which he himself had made in 1931. In the hope of dissuading the attempt, Dyer decides to make a full account of the tragic events he had survived, this time without omitting the passages which he had kept silent about on his return, for fear of being taken for a madman.
