Last time we left off with the chapter one today. We begin chapter 2 before we start go ahead and lay back. and relax and let your eyes grow heavy while I read to you chapter 2. Popular imagination I judge responded actively to our wireless bulletins of lakes starch Northwest into regions. Never trodden by human foot were penetrated by human imagination that we did not mention his wild hopes of revolutionising the entire Sciences of biology and geology. his preliminary sledging and boring journey of January 11 through 18 with a Bodhi and five others marred by the loss of two dogs in an upset when Crossing one of the great pressure ridges in the ice had brought up more and more of the archaea and slate and even I was interested by the singular profusion of evident, fossil markings and that unbelievably ancient stratum These markings however were very primitive life-forms involving no great Paradox accept that any life forms should occur in rock as definitely Precambrian as this seemed to be hence. I still fail to see the good sense of lakes demand for interlude into our time saving program, but in turning the choir The use of all four planes many men and the whole of the expedition's mechanical apparatus. I did not in the end veto the plan though. I decided not to accompany northwestward party. Despite Lakes plea for my geological advice. While they were gone, I would remain at the base with Parvati and five men and workout final plans for the Eastward shipped in preparation for this transfer. One of the planes had begun to move up. Good gasoline Supply from McMurdo sound if this could wait temporarily I kept with me one Sledge and nine dogs, since it is unwise to be at any time without possible Transportation into an utterly tenantless world of a on long dad likes soaked Expedition into the unknown as everyone will recall sent out its own Resorts from the shortwave transmitters on the plains. These being simultaneously picked up by our apparatus of the Southern base and by the Arkham at McMurdo sound once they were relayed to the outside world on wavelengths up to 50 meters starts main January 20 seconds and 4 a.m. The first Wireless message. We received came only two hours later when Lake spoke of descending and starting a small. Scale ice melting and board at a point some 300 miles from us. Six hours after that the second and very excited message told the Frantic Beaver like work where by a shallow shaft had been sunk and blasted culminating in the discovery of sleep fragments with several markings approximately like the one which had caused the original puzzlement. Three hours later a brief bulletin the mouth to the resumption of the flight in the teeth of raw and piercing Gail iwhat. I despatched a message of protest against further hazards. They replied curtly that is new specimens made any Hazard or taking I saw that his excitement had reached the point of mutiny. That I could do nothing to check his headlong risk of the whole Expedition success, but it was appalling to think of as plunging deeper and deeper into that treacherous and Sinister white immensity of tempests and unfathomed Mysteries, which stretched off for some 1,500 miles to the have known have suspected Coastline of Queen Mary and Knox revs. Then in about an hour and a half more came that doubly excited message from Lakes moving plane, which almost reversed my sentiments and made me wish I had accompanied the party. 10:05 p.m. On the wing after a snowstorm have spied a mountain range ahead higher than any other two scene. They equal Himalayas allowing for height of plateau. Probably latitude 76 degrees longitude 113° reaches far as the eye can see from right to left suspicion of to smoking cones. Peaks black and bare of snow Gale blowing them off impedes navigation after that a Bodhi the men and I hung breathlessly over the receiver thought of this Titanic Mountain Rampart 700 miles away inflamed our deepest sense of adventure and we Rejoice that our Expedition if not ourselves personally. I've been its discoverers and half an hour link called us again. Motels playing horse down on plateau and foothills but nobody hurts and perhaps can repair shall transfer Essentials to other three for return or further moves if necessary, but no more heavy plane travel needed just now Mountain surpass anything in imagination. I'm going up scouting and carols playing with all weight out. You can't imagine anything like this. Highest peaks must go over 35,000 feet Everest out of the running Atwood to work out height with you Delight with Carol and I go up probably wrong about combs for formations look stratified possibly Precambrian slate with other straddle mixed in strange Skyline effects regular sections of Cubes clean to highest peaks. Famous my blessed and red glow light to low Sun like land of mystery in a dream or gateway to Forbidden World of untrodden Wonder. We wish you were here to study with us. It was technically are sleeping time. Not one of us listeners thought for a moment of retiring. It must have been a good deal the same at McMurdo sound where The Supply Cache and the Arkham for also getting the messages Captain Douglas gave out a call congratulating everybody on the important finds and Sherman the cash operator seconded is sentiments. We are sorry, of course about the damaged airplane that hoped. It could be easily mended. Then at 11 p.m. Came another call from Lake. Up with Carol over highest Foothills. Don't dare try really tall Peaks and present whether but shall later frightful word climbing and hard going at this altitude, but worth it great range. I only saw it. Hence can't get any glimpses Beyond main summons exceed Himalayas and very strange range looks Precambrian playing signs of many. Strata was wrong about volcanism goes further and either direction we can see swept clear of snow above 20,000 meet Todd formations on slopes of highest mountains great low square blocks with exactly vertical sides and rectangular lives of low vertical ramparts. Like the old Asian castles clinging to steep mountains in rorech is paintings impressive from a distance from close to some and Carol thought they were formed of smaller separate pieces, but that is probably just weathering most edges grumbled and rounded off as if exposed to storms and climate changes for millions of years Parts, especially upper Parts seem to be of light colored Rock than any visible strata on slopes proper. Hence, and evidently crystalline origin Clues flying shows many cave mouths some unusually regular and outline square or semicircular. You must come and investigate think I saw a rampart squarely on top of one Peak height seems to be 30,000 to 35,000 feet. Em Up twenty one thousand five hundred feet myself. In devilish gnawing cold wind whistles and pipes through passes in and out of caves but note flying danger so far. From then on for another half hour Lake kept running fire comments and expressed his intention of climbing some of the Peaks on foot. I replied that I would join him as soon as he could send a plane then that by Bodie and I would work out the best gasoline plan just where and how to concentrate our supply and filled the expedition's altered character obviously likes boring operations as well as his. They're playing activities would need a great deal delivered for the new base, which he was to establish at the foot of the mountains and it was possible at the Eastward flight might not be made after all this season in connection with this business. I called Captain Douglas and asked him to get as much as possible out of the ships and up the barrier with the single dog team. We had left there. But direct route across the unknown region between Lake and McMurdo sound. That's what you really thought to establish. Like called me later to say that he had decided to let the camp stay where Moulton's playing had been forced down and we're repairs at already progress. Someone's the ice sheet was very thin with dark ground here and they're visible and he would sink some borings and blasts at the very point before making any Sledge trips for climbing Expeditions. He spoke. Of the ineffable Majesty of the whole scene and the strange state of is insulation said being in the league of vast silent Pentacles whose ranks shot up like a wall reaching the sky the world's Rim Atwoods. Theodolite observations had placed the height of the tallest Peaks from 30,000 to 34,000 feet. The Windswept nature of the terrain clearly Disturbed like for argued the occasional existence of prodigious Gales violent beyond anything we had so far encountered his Camp my a little more than five miles from where the higher but ills abruptly Rose. I could almost trace a note of subconscious alarm in his words flashed across a glacial void of 700 miles as he urged a we all hasten with the matter and give this strange new regen disposed of as soon as possible. He was about to rest now after continuous day of work of almost unparalleled speed strenuousness and results. In the morning, I had a three-cornered wireless talk with Lee Captain Douglas that they're widely separated basis, but it was a great but one of lakes planes would come to my base for boating the five men men myself as well. As for all the fuel we would need to carry the rest of the fuel question depending on our decision about an easterly trip could wait a few days. Since Lake had enough for immediate Camp heat and borings eventually the old southern base ought to be restocked. But if we postponed easterly trim, we would not use it until next summer and meanwhile, they will send a plane to explore a direct route between his new mountains and McMurdo sound. Bodie and I prepared to close our base for a short or long period as the case might be if we wintered in the Antarctic, we would probably fly straight from Lake space to the Arkham without returning to this spot. Some of our kind of bullpens had already been reinforced by blocks of Hearts. No, and now we decided to complete the job and making a permanent Eskimo Village going to a very liberal 10 Supply they had with him all that has base with me even after our arrival my wireless that will Bode and I would be ready for the Northwestern move after one days or night's rest Our labors however were not very steady after 4 p.m. For about that time like had been sending in the most extraordinary and excited messages. His working day had stopped since airplane survey of the newly exposed rock surfaces showed an entire absence. Those are KN and primordial strata or which he was looking and which formed so great a part of the Colossal Peaks that loomed up at a tantalizing distance from the camp. Most of the Rocks glimpsed were apparently Jurassic sandstone and / Triassic shifts with now and then and glossy black outcropping suggesting a hard and slat ecole this rather discouraged Lee whose plans all hinged on an earthing specimens more than 500 million years old. It was clear to him that in order to recover the archaean Sleep vein in which he had found the odd markings. He would have to make a Sledge trip from these Foothills to the steep slopes of the gigantic mountains themselves. He had resolved nevertheless to do some local boring as part of the expedition's general program, hence. He said up the drill and put five men to work with AIDS while the rest finished settling the camp and repairing the damage to the airplane. The softest is all wrong a Sandstone about a quarter of a mile from the camp had been chosen for the first sampling and the drill made excellent progress with much supplementary lasting. It was about three hours afterward following the first really heavy blast of the operation, but the shouting of the drill Crews heard and that young dead knee the acting Foreman. Rushed into the camp with the startling news. They had struck the cave early in the boring the Sandstone had given place to a vein of limestone full of minut fossil cephalopods corals at Cheney and the occasional suggestions of sponges and Marine invertebrate Bones. The latter probably of tele osc's sharks began Owens visited self-supported enough. Supporting that first vertebra fossils the Expedition had yet to secure the win shortly afterward the drill head dropped through the stratum 2 apparently can see a whole new and doubly intense wave of excitement spread among the excavators a good-sized blast had laid open some touring secret and now through a jagged aperture, perhaps five. Feet across and three feet thick they're yawned before the Avid Searchers a section of shallow Limestone following worn more than 50 million years ago by the trickling groundwaters of the bygone Tropical World.

The cavern was closed was of course passed all speculation in any event the coming of the frightful ice in the pleistocene age some 500,000 years ago a beer yesterday as compared with the age of this cavity must have put an end to any of the Primal forms, which had locally managed to outlive their common terms. Lake was not content to let his first message stands would had another bulletin written and dispatched across the snow to the camp before molten could get back after that Wilton stayed at the wireless and one of the planes transmitting to me and to the are coming from laying to the outside world the frequent post scripts which lake sent to him by a succession of Messengers, those who The newspapers will remember the excitement created among men of Science by that afternoons reports reports which have finally LED after all of these years to the organization that very Starkweather more Expedition, which I am so anxious to dissuade from its purposes. I had better give the messages literally as Lake sent them and as our Base operator, Fatigue translated them from his pencil shorthand Fowler makes discovery of highest importance in sandstone and Limestone fragments from blasts. Several distinct triangular striated prints like those in RK and slings proving that Source survived from over 600 million years ago to come and change and times without more than moderate morphological changes and decrease in average size. Come on Chien Prince apparently more primitive or decadent if anything than older ones. Emphasize the importance of Discovery and press will mean to biology with mine. Stein has meant mathematics and physics joins up with my previous work and amplifies conclusions appears to indicate as I suspected but Earth has seen whole cycle or cycles of organic life before known which begins with our KSL excels was evolved and specialized not Later than a thousand million years ago when planet was young and recently uninhabitable for any life forms or normal protoplasmic structures questions arise then where and how development took place.

No more found so far. Well resume search later job now to get 14 huge specimens to Camp without dogs the dogs barked furiously and can't be trusted near them with nine. Men three left to guard the dogs. We ought to manage the three sludges fairly. Well, even though the wind is bad. I must establish playing communication with Roberto sound. and begin shipping material I have to dissect one of these things before we take any rest. I wish I had a real laboratory here dire better. Kick himself for having tried stop by Westward trip first the world's greatest mountains. And then this if this last isn't the I spot in the Expedition, I don't know. What is we're made scientifically congrats by the holding of the drill that will open the cave. Now who are completely is repeat the description the sensations of ability and myself at received this report were almost Beyond description nor were our companions much behind us. It appears. He has a big Teague who had hastily translated a few spots as they came from the droning receiving. No doubt the entire message for the shorthand version. As soon as Lakes operator signed off all appreciative epoch-making significance of the discovery and I sent Lake congratulations. As soon as the Arkham's operator had repeated back the descriptive Parts as requested and my example was followed by Sherman from his station at the McMurdo sound Supply Cache. As well as by Captain Douglas of the Arkham later as head of the Expedition. I added some remarks to be relayed through the Arkham to the outside world. Of course rest was an absurd thought amidst all this excitement and my only wish was to get to Lakes Camp as quickly as I could. It disappointed me when he said the word but a rising Mountain Gail, they'd aerial travel impossible. But within an hour and a half interest again Rose to banish disappointments Lake was sending more messages and told of the completely successful transportation of the 14 great specimens to the camp the heart of all for the Things were surprisingly heavy but nine men had accomplished it very neatly. Now some of the party were hurriedly building a snow Corral at a safe distance from the camp to its the dogs could be robbed for greater convenience and feeding the specimens were laid out on the hard snow near the camp save for one on which lake is making crude attempts at the section this dissection seem to be a greater task than had been expected. For despite the heat of a gasoline stove in the newly raised laboratory to him be deceptively flexible tissues of the chosen specimen the powerful and intact on Lost nothing of their more than leathery toughness. Luke was puzzled as to how he might being the requisite incisions without violence destructive enough to have set all the structural niceties. He was looking for he had it is true seven more perfect specimens, but these were too few to use up recklessly unless the cave might yield Unlimited Supply. Accordingly he removed the specimen and dragged in one which will have any remnants of the starfish Arrangements at both ends was badly crushed and partly disrupted along one of the great torso for us. Results quickly reported over the wireless. We're baffling and provocative indeed nothing like delicacy or accuracy was possible with instruments hardly able to cut the anomalous tissue, but the little that was achieved left us all odd and bewildered existing biology would have to be holy revised for this thing was no product of any cell growth science knows about There had been scarcely any mineral replacement and despite an age perhaps 40 million years the internal organs were wholly intact the leathery on the tee reiative and almost indestructible quality was an inherent the tribute to the things form of organization and pertained to some cycle of in vertebrate Evolution utterly beyond our powers of speculation. At first all that Lake found was dry. But as the heated tend to produce thawing effect organic moisture of pungent and offensive odor was encountered toward the things but injured side, it was not blood but anything dark green fluid apparently answering the same Purpose By the time Lake reached the stage all 37 dogs. These have been brought to the still uncompleted Corral the other camp and even at that distance set up a Savage barking and show of restlessness at the accurate diffusive smell. Far from helping to place the strange entity this provisional dissection merely dependents mystery all guesses about its external members had been correct and only evidence of these one could hardly hesitate to call the thing animal but internal inspection that brought up so many vegetable evidences that Lake was left. Hopelessly at see it had digestion and circulation. And eliminated waste matter through the reddish tubes of its star fish shaped base one would say that it's respiratory apparatus handled oxygen rather than carbon dioxide and there were involved evidences of are storage chambers and methods of Shifting respiration from the external orifice to at least two other fully developed breathing systems gills and pores. Clearly it was at Vivian and probably adapted to Long heiress hibernation periods as well vocal organs seemed present in connection with the main respiratory system, but they presented anomalies Beyond immediate solution articulate speech in the sense of syllable utterance seemed barely conceivable, but musical piping notes covering a wide range or highly probable. The muscular system was almost preternaturally developed. The nervous system was so complex and highly developed as to leave Lake aghast though, excessively primitive in our cake and some respects. The thing had a set of gangly all centers and connectives arguing. The very extremes specialized development its five-lobed brain was surprisingly advanced. And there were signs of a sensory equipment served in part through the wiry Cilia of the head revolving factors alien to any other terrestrial organism probably had more than five senses so that it's habits could not be predicted from any existing analogy. It must like soft have been a creature of keen sensitiveness and delicately differentiated. Missions of its Primal World much like the ants and bees have today it reproduced like the vegetable crypto Gams, especially the Peridot fights having sport cases at the tips of the Wings and evidently developing with Alice or Pro thallus but to give it a name at this stage was mere Folly. It looks like a radiate. It was clearly something more it was Partly vegetable but a 3/4 of the essentials of animal structure, but it was Marine in origin. It's symmetrical contour and certain other attributes clearly indicated yet one could not be exact as to limit of its later adaptations the wings after all held the persistent suggestion of the aerial. How could it have undergone? It's tremendously complex of a Ocean on a newborn Earth in time to leave prints and RK and rocks. This was so far beyond conception as to make link whimsically recall the Primal movements of the old gods who filtered down from the stars and concocted Earth like as a joke for mistake and the wild Tales of cosmic Hills. So I'm outside told by folklorist colleague in miskatonic English Department. Naturally. He considered the possibility of the Precambrian friends having been made by a less evolved ancestor of the present specimens, but quickly rejected this to facil Theory fun considering the advanced structural qualities of the other fossils. If anything the later Contours show decadence Rather than higher Evolution the size of the pseudo beat had decreased and the whole morphology seemed coarsened and simplified or over the nerves and organs just examined how the singular suggestions of retrogression from form still more complex atrophied and vestigial parts were surprisingly prevalent all together. There could be said to have been and solve and Link bill back on mythology for a provisional name. He tapped his finds the Elder one at about 2:30 a.m. Having decided to postpone further work and get a little rest. He discovered the dissected organism with tarpaulin. He emerged from the laboratory 10th and studied the intact specimens with renewed interest the ceaseless Antarctic son had begun to limber up on their tissues a trifle. So that the head points and tombs of two or three showed signs on folding the leg did not believe there is any danger of immediate decomposition the almost Sub-Zero are he did however all of the UND I selected specimens closer together and throw a spare tent over them in order to keep off the direct solar rays. That would also help to keep their possible sent away from the dogs. Who's hostile unrest was really becoming a problem, even at their substantial distance behind the higher and higher snow walls, which were decreased quota of the men were hastening to raise around their quarters. He had to weigh down the corners of the tent cloth with heavy blocks of snow to hold it in place. Amidst the rising Gale for the Titan Mountain seemed about to deliver some Gravely severe blasts really apprehensions about sudden Aunt Arctic winds were revived and under Atwood supervision precautions were taken to bank.

That would also said greetings and Praises again link a warm words of congratulation loading up the he was right about the Western trip, and we all agreed to get in touch by Wireless at 10:00 in the morning. If the Gale was then over Lake would send a plane for the party at my base just before retiring. I despatched a vital message to the are come with instructions about toning down. The day's news with the outside world. Some of the full details seemed radical enough to Rouse a wave of incredulity until further substantiated. And this my darling and the reading of chapter 2. Thank you for listening. I will see you soon for chapter 3 very sweet. It's creepy dream.
ASMR Reading You To Sleep: Soft spoken ASMR with thunderstorm in background. At the Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft, written in 1931. The tale was originally rejected by the magazine Weird Tales for publication, but was eventually published in 1936 when an editor picked up Lovecraft’s tale for Astounding Stories. The story takes place during September 1930 where a group of wary explorers find themselves in disastrous conditions during an expedition in Antarctica. Told from the perspective of Dr. William Dyer, the tale is reflective of Lovecraft’s fascination with the Antarctic continent and his unfulfilled desire for exploration. A special thank you to Kyle, @PostCubicleKyle on Twitter for recommending this story as our next Lovecraft read. Now sit back, close your eyes, and relax as I read HP Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness to you.
