Synopsis

This guide book tells you everything you need to know about a trip to the planet's core, with the proposed journey to be made using an ingenious Beagle-Pod drilling vehicle.

Activities for your trip could include exploring a volcano, hunting for diamonds under the cratons, discovering what it's like at the hypocenter of an earthquake, and riding up a mantle plume on your return journey. Sections include; 'Things to do', 'Dangers and warnings', 'Tales from the time machine', 'In the deep', and 'The return journey'. A travellers guide for the most adventurous, would you dare take the trip?
