The parallels are already eerie... the picture of the camp looks like a 21st century version of Lovecraft's AtMoM camp; the fact that they have to complete their drilling before the weather gets too rough for the planes (just like in AtMoM); the fervour with which the scientists have been drilling and the subsequent criticism of the rashness of the techniques (just like in AtMoM); and, most eerily eerie of all, from the article:
