This reminds me of The Mountains of Madness, written in 1931.
Back then, Antarctica was still a huge "black box," where anything could live (Cretaceous-era civilizations, for instance).
One thing that has come from our modern day, is that there's very few places left, that are truly "Here, there be dragonnes."

- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoGood point, but we've basically had Science Fiction, since we discovered planets (I think it goes back to the 1700s). I want a dragon, dammit!
