William Dryer is the first-person narrator. The short story is told by Dryer's personal accounts of his Antarctic expedition. The author uses long, elaborate sentences and heavy descriptions. The details are of landscapes, ancient ruins, and alien architecture. It sounds interesting, but the author over describes everything and repeats a lot. There isn't any action, just a very, very slow, and dry burn. It was first written in 1931, and it is considered a classic horror.
