Little by little they rose grimly into the wester sky; allowing us to witness the various bare¸ bleak¸ and blackened summits... in the reddish Antarctic lights against the provocative background of iridescent ice-dust clouds. In the whole spectacle there was a persistent¸ pervasive hint of stupendous secrecy and potential revelation.... I could not help feeling that they were evil things -- mountains of madness whose farther slopes looked out over some accursed ultimate abyss. --H.P. Lovecraft
