Excitedly they boarded the truck
to take them to base camp
for the start of their adventure
to explore icy wastelands
scientists and good friends bound
for uncharted ground!
Setting off in a heavy snow storm
rising up into the mountains
after several hours decided to stop
for the night it was tiring
placing their tents close together
protection from the weather!
Told wolves were known to roam
before settling down
saw lights darting in the distance
then they went to sleep
for any deadly danger not aware
or in the vicinity of any lair!
Communications could not be made
putting it down to weather
but after four days the team at base
became very concerned
sending a search and rescue squad
through thick snow trod!
The mist hung low over the mountains
came upon three tents
each badly torn in one a body laid
mutilated a look of terror
another just in night-gown bare feet
the mood became downbeat!
Another body found without clothes
soon two close together
frozen also mutilated fear on faces
what had happened here
then three days before anymore
such a vast area to explore!
The rest just in night attire here so cold
it was though they fled
in fear of their lives happening quickly
yet there were no tracks
but only of those who were deceased
not of any monstrous beast!
The last victim was the most bizarre
tongue and lower jaw missing
blood had been drained from her to
conspiracy theories grew
a hundred years on from that date
endures to be a weird debate!
Just one more unsolved mystery!
