Shahar makes 5 mm wide miniature Earths. She mixes silicate and iron powders with light-element candidates inside a piston, applies pressure, and then checks which elements and isotopes of those elements fractionate into a core-like center and which go into a mantle-like outer layer in the lab-made planetoid.
The dormant strato-volcano of Snæfellsjökull glacier is hardly visible, though hiding behind thick fogs, one can sense its towering presence. There are so many stories associated with Snæfellsjökull and the magnetic energies it radiates, some believe it is one of Earth energy centers and while some believes it is the meeting place of extra-terrestrials, but without a doubt, the most popular story will always be the one written by Jules Verne.
If I would take one unforgettable memory about the whole lava cave experience it will be when the guide asked us to switch off our lamps, close our eyes, stand still and keep quiet. It was pitch black, there is no hint of light entering the cave, no other sound except our breathing and the cool wind inside, it is such a unique thing to experience, at least for a moment that degree of detachment in the world, which somehow makes me wonder whether if this is how it feels like to be really physically be at the center of the earth.
The intrepid Professor Liedenbrock embarks upon the strangest expedition of the nineteenth century: a journey down an extinct Icelandic volcano to the Earth's very core. In his quest to penetrate the planet's primordial secrets, the geologist--together with his quaking nephew Axel and their devoted guide, Hans--discovers an astonishing subterranean menagerie of prehistoric proportions. Verne's imaginative tale is at once the ultimate science fiction adventure and a reflection on the perfectibility of human understanding and the psychology of the questor.
'Go down into the crater of Snaefells Jökull, which Scartaris's shadow caresses just before the calends of July, O daring traveler, and you'll make it to the center of the earth. I've done so. Arne Saknussemm'
Martha, the housekeeper, promptly hurries to the market to get food. Lidenbrock still seems to be in a good mood while they dine, joking around a bit. After the meal he orders Axel to come into his room, where the younger of the two expresses his scepticism about the documents credibility. The Professor simply replies that they'll see. When Axel asks him what Yokul, Sneffels and Scartaris mean, he shows his nephew an atlas to explain. He tells Axel that Sneffels Yokul is a volcano in Iceland, who replied that it must be impossible to go to the Center of the Earth in a volcano, as it is full of lava, but is interrupted by his uncle telling him that Sneffels last erupted in 1219. Axel then asks what Scartaris means and what it has to do with the calends of July. According to Otto, the volcano has several craters, which means that the correct one had to be marked. Saknussem must have noticed towards the end of June and the beginning of July, one of the mountain peak's (Scartaris') shadows reaches to the crater that leads to the Center of the Earth, so that one can't be confused which one to take. Axel says that he still can't believe Saknussem actually went on the journey and came back again, because it must be scientifically impossible due to the heat. They continue arguing and finally come to the conclusion that naught more is proven than an inner heat, which Otto does not believe in, but says that they shall see and will, like Saknussem, then know what is true and what is false.
After his discussion with his uncle, Axel leaves the house and goes on a walk to the bank of the Elbe, telling himself that it must be purely impossible to ask a boy to come on such a trip. On his walk he meets Gräuben, who he is engaged to. Noticing that he is nervous, she asks him what is wrong, to which he quickly informs her of the current situation. After a long silence she finally says that it will be a nice trip, encouraging him to go. When they return home from their stroll, they are surprised to see the Professor packing and the street full of deliverers bringing equipment for the journey. Axel asks him if they are leaving already, which, alongside the date, the day after tomorrow, is confirmed. Hearing this, Axel goes into his room and spends an awful night in there. In the morning he does not want to open the door, but Gräuben tells him that she sees he's better now, and the night calmed him down. She continues to encourage Axel, telling him that he will be a free man when he returns. They then go to the Professor's room and Axel asks him if it is necessary to leave so soon, to which Lidenbrock replies that there is only one boat to Iceland each month, on the 22. If they would wait to the the 22. of June, they would come after the 1 of July and wouldn't know which crater to take, so they need to go to Kopenhagen and find a way to Iceland themselves. Otto ends the explanation by telling Axel to finally pack his suitcase. Axel and Gräuben go back into Axels' room, where his fiancé packs his bag for him and keeps him calm. Deliveries for physical instruments, weapons and electrics devices keep coming. Lidenbrock tells his nephew that they shall be leaving at 6 o' clock sharp in the morning. After a night full of nightmares, Axel wakes up at 5 A.M. At 5:30 A.M. a carriage comes to transport the travellers and their luggage to the train station. Axel says farewell to his fiancé, then leaves for the train which departs at 7 o' clock, arriving at the german city of Kiel three hours later.
They are to continue their journey to Kopenhagen in a boat, the Ellenora, which wouldn't leave before the evening. Otto, who would love to depart at the very moment, is greatly annoyed. His nephew and him go on a walk around the city to pass the time, finally leaving Kiel at a quarter past ten, arriving at a town in Zealand named Körsör at 7 o' clock in the morning. Three hours later they arrive in Kopenhagen, having come by train. They then step into a wagon and let it transport their luggage and themselves to a hotel. Lidenbrock asks the Portier where a certain museum is located, which they then depart to, meeting the friendly director of it, Mr Thomson, there. Together they go to the quays to look for a boat to Iceland and find a small danish Corvette which will be leaving for Reykjavik on the second of June and is ready to take them. Afterwards, breakfast is eaten and they take a stroll through the city. Lidenbrock notices a church with a high tower, which he forces the dizzy Axel to climb. They stay up there for an hour to get Axel used to looking at the world from above. This is repeated over the course of several days, until finally the 2. of June comes around and the two travellers leave Kopenhagen in the morning with good wind. According to the captain, Mr Bjarne, the trip to Reykjavik will take roughly ten days. After a few days at sea, the two arrive in Reykjavik, where they meet Baron Trampe, a governor, the mayor, Finsen and and a Professor, Mr Fridrickson. While Otto looks for a certain manuscript in the library, Axel goes on a walk in Reykjavik. When he returns, he finds his uncle in the company of Mr Fridrickson, whose house they will temporarily be staying at. Together they eat lunch, the two professors talking about scientific questions in Icelandic. When Fridrickson asks Lidenbrock if his search in the library was successful, the latter replies by saying that the library is nearly empty, to which the former responds that there are 8000 books in the library, but they are scattered across the country, going from hand to hand. Then he asks what books Lidenbrock was looking for in the library, so that he might help him. Otto asks him if they have the works of Arne Saknussem, which Fridrickson denies, saying that all of his works were burnt. Lidenbrock nearly reveals the secret of the document by saying that it all makes sense now, that Saknussem had to hide his discovery in a secret document. When Fridrickson asks about the document, Lidenbrock has to backpedal. The Icelandic man then wishes to know if he will do any mineralogical research, especially on mountains, glaciers and volcanoes like the Sneffels. The German pretends not to know about the volcano and says he would love to explore the Sneffels. Fridrickson asks him how he will travel there, but tells Lidenbrock after his reply that he can't travel per ship, due to there not being a boat in Reykjavik. The Icelander then tells him that there will be a guide who they can meet tomorrow, who might show them the way over land.
In this version, Brendan Fraser stars as a geologist named Trevor, who defends the memory of his late brother, Max, who believed the center of the Earth could be reached through "volcanic tubes." Max disappeared on a mysterious expedition, which, if it involved volcanic tubes, should have been no surprise to him. Now Trevor has been asked to spend some time with his nephew, Max's son, who is named Sean (Josh Hutcherson). What with one thing and another, wouldn't you know they find themselves in Iceland, and peering down a volcanic tube. They are joined in this enterprise by Hannah (Anita Briem), who they find living in Max's former research headquarters near the volcano he was investigating.
The reason Fraser may not make another journey to the earth's core is because he felt strongly about making the first one specifically with director Eric Brevig. However, the studio wants the film in theaters next September and Brevig is busy with the upcoming Yogi Bear movie (for the same studio, I might add).
