[QUOTE="Taokan, post: 2539551, member: 34533"] [b]Campaign Overview[/b] In September of 1930, researchers from Arkham’s Miskatonic University, led by Professors Dyer and Lake, set sail for the Antarctic continent on a bold venture of exploration and discovery. Two months later they landed in Antarctica near Ross Island; twenty men, fifty-five dogs, and five large Dornier aeroplanes were set upon the ice. Their mission was to survey a geologic history of the Earth’s last frontier, to chart from the air where no human foot had stepped, and to determine at last, once and for all, whether Antarctica was indeed one land mass or several. In much of this they were successful. From November of 1930 until mid-January of 1931, the expedition achieved goal after goal, milestone after milestone. Aerial explorations flew over and mapped thousands of square miles of previously unexplored territory. Sled teams took core samples from scattered spots over nearly a quarter of the continent. However, history does not remember the Miskatonic Expedition for its successes, but for its final tragic failure. The end of the expedition came just as the team seemed on the brink of their most spectacular triumph. On January 23rd, a large party led by Professor Lake, broke through into an unbelievable treasure-trove of ancient bones and fossils in a series of caverns at the foot of a hitherto-unknown mountain range. For 2 days, they explored the caves, bringing up specimen after specimen, some utterly unlike any living things that have ever been studied by science. Then they were never heard from again; all were believed killed by a tremendous Antarctic gale that swept the campsite on January 24th. A rescue mission the following day found only silence and a few pathetic remains of the tragedy. Now, in March 1933, a new expedition is forming, intent upon a return to that forbidding Antarctic plateau and Lake’s campsight. British world explorer James Starkweather and American geologist William Moore have joined forces to attack the Antarctic. The two men have experience with harsh environments, both having traveled in the Himalayas, and Starkweather on the Arctic ice cap as well. Their stated goal is to return to the high, cold interior of the Antarctic continent and to finish the work that Lake and the other began three years ago. The two are gathering a team of scientists and technical experts whom they believe will allow them to succeed despite the dangers. [/QUOTE]
