Antarctica

Antarctica is the southernmost continent on the planet Earth. Howard Phillips Lovecraft had a long-running fascination with Antarctica and one of his most famous stories, At the Mountains of Madness, has ensured it a central place in the Cthulhu Mythos.
The fabled Plateau of Leng is rumoured to be situated somewhere in the Antarctic (although sources conflict on this), and a ruined Elder Thing city is located there. At the Mountains of Madness also heavily implies that a Great Old One inhabits the plain beyond the barrier mountains and Elder Thing city.
