At the Mountains of Madness is a novel written by H. P. Lovecraft and originally published in 1936. Unlike many other Lovecraft stories, it was not published in Weird Tales magazine as it was rejected for its length.
William Dyer is a geologist and professor at Miskatonic University, Arkham City, who embarks with another group of explorers on a trip to Antarctica in 1930.
Once all the preparations have been made, they set off with all the luxury of airplanes, sleds and tools to ensure that everything goes smoothly on their expedition. However, things get complicated there when they discover a set of very dangerous mountains, in which the first group that tries to explore them disappears.
The rest of the expedition decide to go look for the first group in the mountain range to clarify what could have happened. As the story unfolds, Professor Dyer recounts different events that take place that alert other explorers thinking of going there to change their minds...
