"At the Mountains of Madness" is a novella by horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, written in February/March 1931. The story details the events of a disastrous expedition to the Antarctic continent in September of 1930 and what was found there by the explorers, which the narrator describes in the hope of deterring another planned expedition to return to the continent. The story has inadvertently popularized the concept of ancient astronauts, as well as Antarctica’s place in the “ancient astronaut mythology”.
