There were some geologists (field work by my reckoning) from Massachusetts who went mad after an expedition to the Antarctic. The survivors came back mumbling something about a horrible thing from beyond the mountains.

was that expedition inspired by lovecraft or was lovecraft inspired by that expedition?

The expedition was not real. I was alluding to Lovecraft without naming him.
