27 mar 1899 año - The Secret of the Earth - Charles Willing Beale

Descripción:

in which aeronauts piloting an Antigravity-powered Airship descend through a Symmes Hole (see John Cleves Symmes) at the North Pole into the expected Hollow Earth. They contact what seem to be several Lost Races, who (seemingly effete) pay them little heed; eventually, progressing ever deeper, they learn that humanity originated in the heart of the planet, but that the more unruly elements had long ago been expelled from the inner world, and live in exile on the surface. They make their own departure through the Antarctic Symmes Hole, and crash on an island in the Pacific, where they write down their experiences, depositing the resulting manuscript in a watertight container.
