Where are you going on holiday this year? Spain? Greece? Turkey? How about the centre of the earth? If you've got $18,950 spare, you can join Steve Currey on his epic journey to the North Pole... And Beyond.

Day 8: Spend day at the North Pole. Days 15-16: Trip to City of Eden to visit Palace of the King of the Inner World. GUARANTEES: By joining Our Hollow Earth Expedition, expedition members agree that there are NO GUARANTEES that this expedition will reach Inner earth.

  • Unfortunately, they don't list which hotels we'd be staying in while visiting the center of the earth. I didn't see any insurance against Mole People attacks either.
  • I'll be going to Toledo to prove once and for all that Elvis works at the 7-11 there.
  • if it is good enough for the Nazis ....
  • I came upon this site about 3 months ago. I requested a brochure, but they never sent me one, the bastards. I guess they figured I didn't have the money necessary for the trip. Anyway, ), BBF
  • Hmph! Obviously a fraud-- there's absolutely no mention of Pellucidar.
  • So the transportation of choice of the inner earth people is monorail?
  • Since I don't even have a down jacket, I think I'll pass. Wandering around the pole to find the inner passage must be pretty time consuming if you haven't done it before, and I'm not into frost bite. And, if he doesn't find it, you'd think he'd agree to take his passengers to Tahiti to warm up. I'm surprised that neither Shopes nor anyone on the Google list I got have poo-poohed this. Maybe they think he'll really find the passage? Or, is this a charming internet meme which everyone is willing to let pass? And, I do wonder if anyone has signed up. And, now many takers he'll will he need to actually start the expedition if this is serious. Anyone signed for his kayacking tours in response to this?
  • Ah, "Snopes.
  • man whats with all the hole posts?
  • i think it would be a cool documentary to make, not about the hole to the center of the earth, but the people who go looking for one, and the search for it.
  • That reminds me, sykoze, I found this awesome website, all about this dude, who dug a... Aw, fuck it
  • Its a SHAM! Everyone knows that the passage to the Inner World is at the south pole
  • "Descend into the crater of Yocul of Sneffels, which the shade of Scartaris caresses, before the kalends of July, audacious traveler, and you will reach the center of the earth. I did it." ARNE SAKNUSSEMM Why don't they just follow this guide book?
