In the 1982 film The Thing, the outpost is infiltrated by a shape-shifting extraterrestrial being during the winter of 1982, which leads to the demise of almost everyone there. In a desperate bid to prevent the creature from escaping, the remaining survivors decided to destroy the entire outpost. The film ends with the sole survivors - MacReady and Childs sitting alongside the burning wreckage of the station. The fate of the men and the outpost were further explored in the 2002 video-game The Thing and the Dark Horse Comics series The Thing from Another World.
