I re-read this for the first time in years and its pretty good, but not as good as I remember it. Lovecraft does an excellent job of invoking the remoteness of Antarctica, removed from the rest of civilization, with the discovery of an advanced pre-human civilization under less than ideal circumstances.

I guess I didn't find it as good as I used to is because I know more than I used to and that Stirling is right: the world is smaller.
