I agree you should open by explaining the real-world basis. I've always felt creepypasta work best when they're told by someone in-universe trying to inform us about the events.

That said, I think you can brainstorm by asking some questions. My first question is: who's the POV character? Is he researching it from a distance, or actually going there? If he is going there, why?

Now, if he's researching it from a distance, how did he gain access to information we don't have? If he's up close, who funded him going there and why? Is he supposed to be sharing this information?

Also, given that this station is in the Arctic, I suspect any story you set there will draw comparisons to At the Moutains of Madness by HP Lovecraft (has anyone else noticed that Lovecraft was the proto-creepypasta writer...only more racist...). That's not a bad thing, just something to bear in mind. I'd suggest reading AtMoM and either setting up some sense of homage, or trying to do your own thing.
