Setecoffsetls

Setecoffsetls is a fictional location featured in the 1987 horror film "The Thing." The name is derived from the Norwegian phrase "sete, off, setet, los," which translates to "sit, off, seat, lose." The film's creators, John Carpenter and Bill Lancaster, chose this name for its phonetic similarity to the word "thing," adding an element of ambiguity and foreboding. Setecoffsetls is depicted as a remote research facility located in Antarctica, where a group of scientists and military personnel are stranded during a blizzard. The facility is known for its advanced technology and secretive nature, as it was originally established by the United States government for top-secret research. The name Setecoffsetls has since become a part of popular culture and is often referenced in discussions about the film and its iconic scenes.
