Pretty much the most awesome adventure ever. An eccentric professor and his skeptical nephew stumble upon a map that leads to a volcano in Iceland. This volcano, one with a name that I won't even try spelling, has a portal that descends deep into the interior of the Earth. The professor, anxious to earn an accomplishment for his name, will stop at nothing to reach it. No matter how much his nephew tries to convince him that he shouldn't risk his life for the glory of science, the professor's manic insanity ignores him and alights a flame of ambition to guide them down into the Earth. Giant mushrooms, prehistoric beasts, subterranean oceans, massive echo-chambered batholiths, lightning storms, and an eruption over Stromboli make this a highly memorable read. So what if these things aren't scientifically possible? Expand your mind and let the story take hold.
