Professor Lidenbrock discovers a coded message about entering the Earth's center through an Icelandic mountain. He and his nephew Axel, along with guide Hans Bjelke, embark into the mountain's volcanic crater. They face dangers and see prehistoric life as they descend deeper. Eventually reaching an underground ocean, they build a raft and explore coastal tunnels. After being ejected from an erupting vent, they regain consciousness on Stromboli Island, having completed their journey. They return home as heroes while Hans returns to Iceland.

Journey to the Center of The Earth is an adventurous science
fiction. Professor Lidenbrock discovers a coded message in an
ancient manuscript about a way to get into the center of the Earth
through a mountain in Iceland. After decoding the message,

including prehistoric life. They reach a vast underground cavern
filled with a deep ocean, surrounded by a coastline.

4. SYNOPSIS CONTINUE
The Travelers build a raft and set sail on the ocean and reach a
coastline. They enter a passage that they assume is the way ahead
but discover that is blocked by cave-in. They blast the rock but the
explosion causes the sea the rush in. They are swept into a large
vent filling with water and magma and are ejected onto the surface.
When they regain consciousness, they find out that they are on the
island of Stromboli in Italy. The travelers return home to Germany. In
Germany they are treated like heroes and Professor Lidenbrock’s
achievements are recognized. Axel marries Gretchen, and Hans
