Great minds think alike. I saw “Mc Murdo Sound” and that was my first thought, too.

You jest, but there are people that think the Nazi’s really did contact an alien presence in Antarctica. And that Lovecraft’s “At the Mountains of Madness” was just a fictionalized version of the truth.

I have a little niche blog about Lovecraftian props and every couple of months I get a whackadoodle email on the subject.

Shoggoths are just the cover story. The real reason the Navy went down there in force is the UFO Nazis, everybody knows that. (There may be some UFO Nazi shoggoths, of course.)

Oh yeah, mesmerizing stuff.

When time abounds, I recommend opening Google Earth and surfing the areas where mountains peek out of the icecap, or going across the coastline. Just be sure to click on the Panoramio pictures that appear on the screen, try to imagine the people who took those haunting photos of Soviet bases back in the sixties and seventies.

Then there’s Herzog’s fantastic documentary “Encounters At The End Of The World”.
