It is altogether against my will that I tell my reasons for opposing this contemplated invasion of the antarctic4with its vast fossil hunt and its wholesale boring and melting of the ancient ice caps. And I am the more reluctant because my warning may be in vain.  \nDoubt of the real facts, as I must reveal them, is inevitable; yet, if I suppressed what will seem extravagant and incredible, there would be nothing left. The hitherto withheld photographs, both ordinary and aerial, will count in my favor, for they are damnably vivid and graphic. Still, they will be doubted because of the great lengths to which clever fakery can be carried. The ink drawings, of course, will be jeered at as obvious impostures, notwithstanding a strangeness of technique which art experts ought to remark and puzzle over.  \nIn the end I must rely on the judgment and standing of the few scientioc leaders who have, on the one hand, suïcient independence of thought to weigh my data on its own hideously convincing merits or in the light of certain primordial and highly baöing myth cycles; and on the other hand, suïcient innuence to deter the exploring world in general from any rash and over-ambitious program in the region of those mountains of madness. It is an unfortunate fact that relatively obscure men like myself and my associates, connected only with a small university, have little chance of making an impression where matters of a wildly bizarre or highly controversial nature are concerned.  \nIt is further against us that we are not, in the strictest sense, specialists in the oelds which came primarily to be concerned. As a geologist, my object in leading the Miskatonic University Expedition was wholly that of securing deep-level specimens of rock and soil from various parts of the antarctic continent, aided by the remarkable drill devised by Professor Frank H. Pabodie of  \n10  \nCHAPTER 1 AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS  \nour engineering department. I had no wish to be a pioneer in anyother oeld than this, but I did hope that the use of this new mechanical appliance at diferent points along previously explored paths would bring to light materials of a sort hitherto unreached by the ordinary methods of collection.  \nPabodie9s drilling apparatus, as the public already knows from our reports, was unique and radical in its lightness, portability, and capacity to combine the ordinary artesian drill principle with the principle of the small circular rock drill in such a way a","cbCaioLtquGDG6wU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioLtquGDG6wU","pdf",3346901,37,"English","# Chapter 1: The Antarctic Expedition\n## Reluctant warning and credibility concerns\n## Geological mission and expedition planning\n## Drilling apparatus and transport logistics","[{\"question\":\"Why does the narrator feel forced to speak in Chapter 1?\",\"answer\":\"He claims men of science refused to follow his advice without understanding his reasons, so he must explain why he opposes the planned invasion of Antarctica.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the primary goal of the expedition described in Chapter 1?\",\"answer\":\"The narrator, acting as a geologist, leads the Miskatonic University Expedition to secure deep-level rock and soil specimens from the Antarctic continent.\"},{\"question\":\"What tool enables the team to collect specimens from different strata?\",\"answer\":\"Pabodie’s drilling apparatus combines principles of an artesian drill with a small circular rock drill, allowing efficient drilling through varying hardness.\"}]","At The Mountains of Madness - Chapter 1 - The Antarctic Expedition | PDF",1791329044,57]
