I don't know; portions of Antarctica's history according to Lovecraft.
I could easily see both the shoggoth uprising against the Elder Things
in Kadath and the possibly near future -- if we're to believe news
items like the one found here:
http://www.ufoarea.com/aas_kadath_antarctica.html
conflict between humans and shoggoths after the ruins of Kadath are
opened.
:)
The biggest challenge with these scenarios is that (in modern times,
anyway) Kadath is mostly below the surface, and there is some argument
to extending it for multiple hexes; if this approach is taken it would
be reasonable to have units on the surface and units in the caves
beneath not be able to interact with one another or even be aware of
one another.
Didn't Matthew Skala mention that the ultimate goal of his Antarctica
work was to create a Lovecraft based module?
