Summary
On June 28th the shadow of scartaris fell on the muddle of the
three chimneys. They prepared to descend the chimney. They tied a
long rope to the edge of the chimney and they descended carefully. At
the bottom of the chimney it was getting darker, it had been along and
tiring descent, and they were exhausted. Professor Lidenbrock said
that the centre of the Earth couldn’t be hot as all scientists thought.
They entered a small passage that led off to the right. When they left
the main chimney, they saw the sky of Iceland for the last time.
They saw the lava that had flowed through the passage and
formed strange shapes. They were in a cave and there was plenty of air
in it. Axel didn’t know where the air had come from. He was worried
because they had used about hale of their water.
At the end of the passage, there were two paths, one going east,
the other going west. Professor Lidenbrock took the eastern path and
Axel and Hans followed him.

Summary
Professor Lidenbrock, Hans and Axel followed the eastern
passage for three days. The path was going up, not down, so they were
tired. Some plants and animals were preserved in the rocks. This
means that was they had taken the wrong path. Axel was very thirsty
and so his uncle gave him the last drops of water in his bottle. Axel
couldn’t persuade his uncle to go back and give up the journey.
Suddenly they heard the sound of water coming from an
underground river. This water was very strong and hot. The path
continued westward فى اتجاه الغرب and they started to go down again. The
rocks were shaped like steps, so they descended quickly.
Professor Lidenbrock used his scientific instruments to calculate
their positions. Suddenly Axel turned a round and he didn’t find his
uncle or Hans. He was lost. His torch fell down and it was broken. He
ran back shouting like a madman. At last he fell on the floor and
fainted.
