Preface To A Journey
JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH
The story begins on the 24th May 1863 in Hamburg,when Professor Linden Lidenbrooke and his nephew, Axel, discovered an old parchment, in a 12th Century book called ' Heinz Kringler', a chronicler of Norwegian princes that ruled over Iceland .
The parchment, when decoded into Latin and translated by Axel, proved to be written by an alchemist of the 16th Century and read as follows:
" Descend into the crater of Snaefellsjökull over which the shadows of Scutaris falls before the Kalends of July,bold traveller, and you will reach the '
Centre of the Earth '.
I have done this ".
Arni Saknussem .
Snaefells is a 5000 foot high mountain in Iceland .
An extinct volcano .
Its last eruption being in 1229.
And so the journey from Hamburg to Iceland begins...
