Recent occurrences of madness in Arkham MA and the discovery of horribly mutilated library books at the library of Miskatonic University have followed the news of the Russians tapping an enormous lake under the Antarctic ice cap.
For those unaware of the Cthulu Mythos or the recent movie (shown at the CWRU Marathon),
The Call of Cthulu check out the news of the Russians tapping a "Gigantic freshwater lake hidden under miles of ice for millions of years"(AP)
http://universe.byu.edu/index.php/2012/02/09/ap-in-scientific-coup-russians-reach-antarctic-lake/Looking at the Wikipedia article on H.P. Lovecraft you will find that, "Eventually, as Antarctica became uninhabitable even for the Elder Things, they migrated into a large, subterranean ocean."
