But is there an Elder Thing city waiting below?

I know, HP Lovecraft's Miskatonic Mountains were based on the Transantarctic Mountain Range, but there's also the 'ghost' Gamburtsev Mountains, a sub-glacial range in Eastern Antarctica, which I thought were very interesting. Who knows what could be lurking beneath?
