I don't know; portions of Antarctica's history according to Lovecraft.  
I could easily see both the shoggoth uprising against the Elder Things 
in Kadath and the possibly near future -- if we're to believe news 
items like the one found here:

conflict between humans and shoggoths after the ruins of Kadath are 
opened.

:)

The biggest challenge with these scenarios is that (in modern times, 
anyway) Kadath is mostly below the surface, and there is some argument 
to extending it for multiple hexes; if this approach is taken it would 
be reasonable to have units on the surface and units in the caves 
beneath not be able to interact with one another or even be aware of 
one another.

Didn't Matthew Skala mention that the ultimate goal of his Antarctica 
work was to create a Lovecraft based module?
