This is a re-read from when I was a kid in high school. I didn't remember it all that well, and really didn't have the intention of reading it again (at least night right now) until I discovered from speaking to my son that another author that I enjoy, Michael Shea, had written a sequel to this story titled "Fat Face". He really enjoyed that story so I figured I'd refresh my memory of At the Mountains of Madness and continue on to Fat Face.
I'm happy that I re-read AtMoM because it became clear to me after a chapter that either my memory is toast, or that I didn't pay much attention when reading it as a kid. (The jury is still on on which.) Either way, the re-read was well worth the time. The story's similarity to the movie "The Thing" was striking. I understand that credit for that goes to Campbell's novella Who Goes There? but the similarity with this story made an impression on me.
