Before Arrival: This peculiar building must be the Arctic Observatory by the Royal Society built to investigate the eternal winter. There's smoke over it.

During Arrival: Something's amiss at the observatory. Snow covers the precious instruments, and the dome is open, letting out a thin column of smoke. Someone's inside.

The sun is dimming!: Instead of astronomers, we are met by some of our lost people. They explain that they came here for help, but found everybody dead.

The astronomers continued their observations until they starved. What was so important for them? They wrote it up in their diaries; the loss of sunlight can't be explained solely by the fouling of the atmosphere by the southern volcanoes. The sun is dimming!
