It was a secret message by an ancient alchemist, found on a crumbling scrap of parchment. And, if Saknussemm was right, then every theory about the molten core of the earth is wrong. Prof. Otto Lidenbrock has to learn the truth. So, Lidenbrock, his nephew Axel, and the Icelandic hunter Hans climb down the cone of an arctic volcano and into... A realm of awesome mystery, weird beauty-and deadly peril. Where vast caverns and endless mazes lead to an underground ocean, living fire, and prehistoric monsters. But, where any wrong turn, any misstep, can leave the explorers forever trapped in the eternal darkness of a planet-sized tomb... Buried alive at the heart of the world....
