A U.S. scientist and a small band of believers are planning a journey to the Canadian Arctic for what they call "the greatest geological expedition in history."
I hope to goodness that they're well armed for the travails that await them in the land of perpetual noon.
They're looking for a fog-shrouded hole in the Arctic Ocean that leads -- they say -- to the centre of the Earth, where an unknown civilization is lurking inside the hollow core of the planet.
That's right- Pellucidar. Only I think they left out the bit about the wide variety of prehistoric life from all eras that still survives in there.
Mr. Agnew is the latest in a long line of people to peddle the nutty, yet persistent, theory that humans live on the surface of a hollow planet, in which two undiscovered openings, near the North and South poles, connect the outer Earth with an interior realm.
Nutty, yeah right, hasn't this so-called journalist done his homework? Not only have David Innes and Abner Perry explored there but so too has Tarzan and a few others. Jeez, it's called research!
While he insists the journey has a genuine scientific purpose, Mr. Agnew also says the expedition will include several experts in meditation, mythology and UFOs, as well as a team of documentary filmmakers.
I'm actually a tad concerned- no big game hunters or military men are mentioned. And UFOs are the least of their concerns- don't they know about the Mahars? I believe they might be walking into a situation they aren't prepared for.
“Pellucidar, as every schoolboy knows, is a world within a world, lying as it does, upon the inner surface of the hollow sphere, which is the Earth.”
The maps are here and you can read of the Innes and Perry adventure here for free.

So I take it they've found a reliable source for Harbenite?
