Chapter 16 Our guide Hans came to our rescue. With one hand he grasped me and with the other hand he supported my uncle. Thank God! we all were safe and sound. But I was badly shaken, bruised and battered all over. I expressed my gratitude to Hans who saved me from the jaws of
Chapter 15 Our magnetic compan, all of a sudden, went out of order. It was not working properly. It had lost its accuracy. It was a great setback for us, for the compass was a reliable guide apart from Hans. I knew quite well that according to the best received theories the mineral covering of
Chapter 14 It might have been, as I guessed, about ten at night. The first of my senses which came into play after this last bout was that of hearing. All at once I could hear; and it was a real exercise of the sense of hearing. I could hear the silence in the gallery
Chapter 13 Thursday, 27th August was a date which remained etched in my memory. Whenever I think of this day, a shiver goes down my spine and I feel restless and scared. My heart begins to palpitate at a fast speed. From that hour we had no further occasion for the exercise of reason, or
Chapter 12 Since the start upon this marvellous pilgrimage I had been through so many astonishments that I might well be excused for thinking myself well hardened against any further surprise.

Chapter 10 The next morning I awoke feeling perfectly well. I thought a bath would do me good, and I went to plunge for a few minutes into the waters of this mediterranean sea, for assuredly it better deserved this name than any other sea. I came back to breakfast with a good appetite. Hans
Chapter 9 I was plunged into an abyss of despair. I could see no way out from there. I was sure to die of hunger and thirst.Mechanically I swept the ground with my hands. How dry and hard the rock seemed to me! But how had I left the course of the stream? For it
Chapter 8 It must be confessed that hitherto things had not gone on so badly, and that I had small reason to complain. If our difficulties became no worse, we might hope to reach our end. And to what a height of scientific glory we should then attain! I had become quite a Liedenbrock in
Chapter 7 At eight in the morning a ray of daylight came to wake us up. The thousand shining surfaces of lava on the walls received it on its passage, and scattered it like a shower of sparks. There was light enough to distinguish surrounding objects. “Well, Axel, what do you say to it?” cried
Chapter 6 Supper was rapidly devoured, and the little company housed themselves as best they could. The bed was hard, the shelter not very substantial, and our position an anxious one, at five thousand feet above the sea level. Yet I slept particularly well; it was one of the best nights I had ever had,
Chapter 5 Before going to bed at night I had a pleasant stroll in the evening. Once in bed, I slept soundly. Next morning when I woke up, I heard my uncle was discussing something at the top of his voice. I soon joined him. He was conversing in the Danish language with a tall
Chapter 4 Before the day of our departure M. Thomsen my uncle’s friend, handed us the letters of introduction to Count Trampe, the Governor of Iceland; M. Picturssen, the bishop’s suffragan; and M.
