As their plane lifts off to safety, Dyers companion catches a glimpse of something so horrifying, he is driven over the edge into madness. Now, Dyer must retell the story to prevent a new expedition from returning to the deadly ice world lost in time.At the Mountains of Madness is one of the most popular stories by H.P.
