Discovering an ancient parchment that describes a path into the Earth's core, Professor Otto Lidenbrock and his nephew Axel find their way underground through the mouth of a dormant volcano in Iceland. The intrepid explorers encounter subterranean rivers, giant mushrooms, even dinosaurs... but will they make it back home alive or perish beneath the surface?

Grounded in the latest scientific discoveries of the Victorian era, A Journey into the Center of the Earth dives into the geological past of our planet and introduces technological innovations that were ahead of their time. Inspiring such literary giants as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jules Verne's science fiction masterpiece remains one of the cornerstones of the genre.
