Mysterious Antarctica | comment |
People have always wondered about what mysteries might lurk in unexplored regions. At first, people explored the land masses they lived on, voyaging up rivers, forging through dense Wild Wilderness and up into mountains. As Europeans explored more, they sailed to the Americas, and the mysterious unknown regions were revealed and mapped as part of colonialism. Eventually explorers traveled to Africa, Asia and Oceania. The last continent to be explored and mapped out was the desolate, icy expanse of Antarctica, which was long suspected to exist but ultimately dismissed as myth until 1820, when it was finally, officially, sighted by humans. Even now, most of its surface has only been mapped by satellite. Incredible cold and lethal winds conspired to keep humans away, which made it a fertile area for stories about mysterious buried alien technology, ancient aliens, and monsters frozen in the ice. This trend continues today — after all, who knows what may be under the ice? In Real Life, rather than pyramids and UFOs, what's under the ice seems to pretty much be... more ice. The main inhabitants of Antarctica are scientists, and the main economic activity is scientific research. A number of countries have research stations. As time goes on, of course, Science Marches On, and the more fantastical versions of this trope are just as Discredited, just like the way depicting civilizations on the inhospitable planets of Mars and Venus in many a 1920s and 1930s Planetary Romance fell away once we knew that both were uninhabitable. A particularly common variant is the Eerie Arctic Research Station, which despite the name applies to both the Arctic and Antarctic. Also see The Shangri-La for supernatural or mysterious depictions of another remote, icy region. See also Monster in the Ice, Grim Up North (the polar opposite), Polar Bears and Penguins. |

The Thing (1982): Often considered the Antarctica horror movie, an adaptation of John W. Campbell's short story Who Goes There? (an earlier film adaptation was set in the North Pole). And it was embraced in a weird way: The Thing (and sometimes its prequel) is regularly viewed by members of the winter crew at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station after the last flight out, usually in a double-feature with The Shining. | |

Cthulhu Mythos: At the Mountains of Madness: The titular undiscovered Antarctic mountain range (which dwarfs the Himalayas) is the location of the last city of the Elder Things (referred to in the novella as Old Ones, but generally known in Lovecraftian scholarship and fandom as Elder Things to prevent confusion with the Great Old Ones), a race of Starfish Aliens who fought against Cthulhu and His spawn, now abandoned and inhabited only by Shoggoths, the semi-sentient amorphous former servitors of the Elder Things who now mimic their former master's culture, even carving crude inscriptions after their style into the walls and parroting the voices of the Elder Things. There are also giant albino penguins there, and some other thing that is even worse. We never really find out what it is, but a brief glimpse at it severely shakes up the sanity of one of the explorers. A Colder War, an Alternate History Cold War short story by Charles Stross, mentions that the United States lost the entire 501st Airborne Division on the plateau beyond Mt. Erebus. There's also a gateway to another planet beneath the ice of Lake Vostok. The plot centres around a Lensman Arms Race that started after the events of Mountains of Madness, including several shoggoth that the Soviet Union have gained sufficient control over to feel comfortable turning them loose against the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, in violation of an international treaty that even Those Wacky Nazis abided by. This ends about as well as you'd expect. Cold Water Survival by Holly Phillips has a group of adventurers setting up a base on an iceberg that's split off from Antarctica; they realise that various Eldritch Abominations frozen in the ice are slowly thawing out as the berg travels into warmer regions. The Crevasse by Dale Bailey & Nathan Ballingrud has a 1920's expedition realise something is hiding in a nearby crevasse, but they aren't silly enough to hang around and find out, and afterwards refuse to acknowledge that what they saw was real. According to The Cthulhu Wars by Kenneth Hite and Kennon Bauman, Operation Highjump was a reconnaissance-in-force of the Elder cities first uncovered by the Pabodie expedition. At the same time a smaller expedition was launched into Greenland (Operation Nanook) with the end game of securing the polar regions so that bases for research and surveillance of the Mythos threat could be constructed there. |

In the Stargate-verse, the Earth's original Stargate (Not the one they've been using all along, that one was brought to Earth at the time of ancient Egypt) was found in Antarctica, and Atlantis also used to be 'parked' there — before the Ancients abandoned Earth, leaving behind an outpost with a superweapon. They also found a living Ancient Popsicle. It should be noted, though, that the Ancients were old enough that their settlement there actually predated the Antarctic's most recent freezing. | |

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner takes place largely in Antarctic seas shrouded in fog and haunted by spirits. Worth noting that Antarctica wouldn't even be confirmed to exist until some 22 years after the story was first published, and the predominant opinion at the time was that it did not, the two James Cook expeditions of the 1770s having gone as far south as to come within 75 miles of the continent before turning back from the relentless ice. | |

Pathfinder: The Antarkos Oceannote in a reverse of how it usually goes, Golarion has a landlocked north pole and an oceanic south pole is a mysterious and poorly explored stretch of iceberg-choked seas surrounding an enormous ice sheet. The waters teem with fish and krill, supporting large populations of primordial Sea Monsters, and the ocean's frigid waters are also home to city of stranded aquatic aliens and to marine giants who can psychically enslave other beings. In addition, there's something about the area that attracts vast numbers of incorporeal undead and animate dreams from every corner of the globe, making the southern ocean's waters, skies and ice haunted by wraiths, ghosts and specters of every sort. | |

In Sentou Yousei Yukikaze, the JAM invasion of Earth started on the Ross Ice Shelf when a hyperspace portal appeared and they came out shooting. The world got a rude wake-up call that day when panicked scientists at the McMurdo Research Station broadcast shots of 3 JAM aircraft shooting down a cargo plane that had just taken off. For extra points, if Lynn Jackson's flashback in the anime adaptation's first episode is accurate, this happened on Christmas Day. | |

Creepshow: Implied and invoked with the segment "The Crate". A university janitor finds a forgotten, unopened crate brought back from a 19th century expedition to Antarctica, and what's inside is somehow still alive, and very hungry. The sequence is set entirely at the university campus and the surrounding town in what appears to be New England (knowing Stephen King, probably Maine), so we never actually see Antarctica in the film, but the story nonetheless relies on that continent's eerie connotations to build up a sense of the supernatural around the monster. | |

In The Elder Scrolls series, Nirn's version is Atmora, the northernmost continent. In ancient times, it was home to the Atmorans, an ancient race of men with Barbarian Tribe and proto-Horny Vikings traits. Thousands of years prior to when the games in the main series take place, Atmora experienced the "Frost Fall", a mysterious gradual cooling of Atmora which quickly rendered it uninhabitable to intelligent life. Most of the Atmorans migrated south to northern Tamriel, settling in modern day Skyrim and interbreeding with Tamriel's native Nedic humans to create the modern Nords (and possibly all races of Men save the Redguards, though sources greatly conflict and are heavily biased). Reports from the 2nd and 3rd Eras indicate that Atmora is now completely frozen over, with no sign of intelligent life. | |

A Place Further than the Universe involves the protagonists going on a civilian expedition to Antarctica, the "place" described in the title, which is also the title of Shirase's mother's book with the same name. Hinata even once describes it as a great place to get away from everyone. | |

The DCU: Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham, an Elseworld mixing the Dark Knight with H. P. Lovecraft (mainly At the Mountains of Madness) opens with Bruce Wayne and his wards arriving in Antarctica to find out what happened to "the Cobblepot Expedition". Almost all of them died in the Mountains of Madness, Cobblepot himself joined the albino penguins, and one member of the expedition became an undead being that needs the Antarctic cold to survive (a mashup between Mr Freeze and Dr Muñoz from Cool Air). Martian Manhunter: The Manhunter has a base there, in his case an entire buried Martian city. Superman: In the post-Crisis comics, particularly during the Roger Stern era, the first version of the Fortress of Solitude was in the Antarctic. (It was generally referred to only as "the Antarctic Fortress.") Wonder Woman (2011): The New 52 Wonder Woman foe known as the First Born was buried in Antarctica. |

In Hatchling Quest, Antarctica became this after The Simurgh made her second appearance there and just vanished. Since then, any attempt to gather information about the continent has failed. Satellites show nothing, anyone sent there are never seen again, even capes with flight and teleportation powers vanish without a trace. We find out why this is in 15.16 the Space Pirates had a base there where they were studying Metroids!!! They somehow escaped, the base was abandoned, and the continent was quarantined. | |

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom: The "Lost Kingdom'' of Necrus was apparently based in Antarctica. Ruled by King Atlan's brother Kordax, the latter's ambition led him to experiment with dark magic, turning his people into monsters. After being defeated by Atlan, the kingdom and all it's inhabitants were sealed under thick ice. Black Manta - searching for Atlantean technology and unwittingly possessed when he discovers Kordax's black trident - attempts to release Kordax to take revenge on Aquaman and destroy Atlantis. | |

Not much is known about the Warhammer equivalent of Antarctica, only that the map says 'Here There Be Daemons'. According the fluff there's basically a portal to Hell there, spilling out The Legions of Hell... and there's nobody doing anything about it. Fortunately, they don't need to, as beastmen and daemons are good at slaughtering and killing but not very good at, say, building boats. It's obliquely implied at several points in the backstory that the High Elves maintain a string of fortresses that watch over the choke points. (Contrariwise, the north pole has a full land connection to the mainland of the Warhammer world and can't be contained in this way.) |

In the Doctor Who episode "Seeds of Doom", scientists found two pods there that turned humans into creatures that were like giant homicidal rotting broccoli stalks. The pods also made other plants turn against people. Also, The First Doctor's last episode, "The Tenth Planet" (made when Pluto was still considered a planet) was set in Antarctica. The Cyberman weren't actually from there, but they had been found there. |

A Colder War, an Alternate History Cold War short story by Charles Stross, mentions that the United States lost the entire 501st Airborne Division on the plateau beyond Mt. Erebus. There's also a gateway to another planet beneath the ice of Lake Vostok. The plot centres around a Lensman Arms Race that started after the events of Mountains of Madness, including several shoggoth that the Soviet Union have gained sufficient control over to feel comfortable turning them loose against the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, in violation of an international treaty that even Those Wacky Nazis abided by. This ends about as well as you'd expect. | |

Similar to the Operation Highjump conspiracy theory (see below), in Call of Duty: Black Ops a Russian special task force is assembled to take out the last vestiges of the Nazi regime in a secret polar base developing Nova 6 about a month after WW2 officially ended. It takes place in the Arctic Circle, but its similarity to the conspiracy theory is probably not a coincidence. | |

The Land That Time Forgot: The tropical Lost World Caspak is located on a large island in the vicinity of Antarctica. Also from Edgar Rice Burroughs, The Gods Of Mars takes us to the Valley Dor at the south pole of Mars, which is viewed very much this way by the rest of the planet - an unexplored region where people go when it's time for them to die, and from which no one may return. It turns out that they don't get to live out their final days in peace, however, but are instead either cannibalized or Made a Slave by one of two secret polar civilizations - the wicked First Born of Mars and the even worse Holy Therns. John Carter and Tars Tarkas must fight their way out, then convince their northern allies to mount an invasion to free all the enslaved people still down there. The next book in the series, The Warlord of Mars, features another uncharted region and undiscovered civilization at Mars' northern pole. |

At the Mountains of Madness: The titular undiscovered Antarctic mountain range (which dwarfs the Himalayas) is the location of the last city of the Elder Things (referred to in the novella as Old Ones, but generally known in Lovecraftian scholarship and fandom as Elder Things to prevent confusion with the Great Old Ones), a race of Starfish Aliens who fought against Cthulhu and His spawn, now abandoned and inhabited only by Shoggoths, the semi-sentient amorphous former servitors of the Elder Things who now mimic their former master's culture, even carving crude inscriptions after their style into the walls and parroting the voices of the Elder Things. There are also giant albino penguins there, and some other thing that is even worse. We never really find out what it is, but a brief glimpse at it severely shakes up the sanity of one of the explorers. | |

Tomb Raider III's Excuse Plot revolves around four mysterious artifacts made out of a meteor that crashed into Antarctica, the work of an ancient civilization. The game begins with Dr. Willard's research team discovering maori statues in Antarctica. Eventually we learn that Charles Darwin's voyage uncovered a cave where the meteor itself was held, and that an ancient civilization used the meteor's mysterious power to craft artifacts that caused dramatic mutations. The recovered artifacts were lost by Darwin's associates; one remained in a temple on a South Pacific island where the descendants of the Antarctic civilization ended up. During the game's final levels, after Lara has collected all of the artifacts, she heads to Antarctica. She fights her way through Dr. Willard's camp and into a research station, following it into a mining operation overrun by mutants created out of Willard's employees by the meteor. Eventually, she discovers the lost city of Tinnos, a massive underground archaeological site populated by Willard's mutants and giant insects. | |

The New World of Darkness has a lodge of werewolves dedicated to making sure that something stays buried underneath Antarctica. At least... they were dedicated to that purpose. Then someone found a woman's face carved into the ice that started telling them how great they are for rescuing her and... well, they all went batshit and started worshipping it. As the Contagion Chronicle reveals, it goes deeper than that—Antarctica is home to the Carriers, the most dangerous of the Contagious. |
