The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from At the Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft: us. We decided to explore the more decrepit upper parts first
of all, hence climbed aloft in the maze for a distance of some
one hundred feet, to where the topmost tier of chambers yawned
snowily and ruinously open to the polar sky. Ascent was effected
over the steep, transversely ribbed stone ramps or inclined planes
which everywhere served in lieu of stairs. The rooms we encountered
were of all imaginable shapes and proportions, ranging from five-pointed
stars to triangles and perfect cubes. It might be safe to say
that their general average was about 30 x 30 feet in floor area,
and 20 feet in height, though many larger apartments existed.
