The final act of the Dyer Expedition is a descent into cosmic horror and utter madness. What they discover beneath the ice is meant for no living man to see, Cyclopean structures and alien landscapes that defy history itself. The letters from expedition leader Professor William Dyer grow increasingly more desperate as the expedition presses on, leaving sanity behind them. Return to the final days of the Dyer expedition in the remote Antarctic wastes. Lovecraft's most classic and horrific tales into visual art– Landscapes of frozen wastes, unspeakable creatures millions of years old found in an abnormal state of conservation, strange geometric structures at the top of black mountains. What he discovered went beyond his wildest fears … In the illustrated AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS VOL.1, artist, Francois Baranger, acclaimed for his work as a concept designer for cinema and video games, has performed the incredible task of reimagining one of H.P. Guessing the worst, Dyer went to their rescue the next day. After just a few days, he announced by radio that he had discovered astonishing specimens of an unknown ancient species, before stopping all communication after a terrible storm. The expedition biologist, Professor Lake, left with several members of the team to follow a promising fossil track. Two years earlier, ships chartered by Miskatonic University had landed on the frozen continent at the start of the Antarctic summer, and the group of four professors and sixteen students set to work immediately.

In the hope of dissuading the attempt, Dyer decides to make a full account of the tragic events he had survived, this time without omitting the passages which he had kept silent about on his return, for fear of being taken for a madman. Professor Dyer, a prominent geologist, learns that a scientific expedition will soon leave for Antarctica following in the footsteps of the journey which he himself had made in 1931.
