[Narrator]:

Admiring shades of lava which imperceptively

Passed from reddish brown to bright yellow, their way

Lit by crystals appearing as lighted globes, they

Continued through the lava gallery which gently

Sloped until they reached the intersection of two roads

Without hesitation, Professor Lidenbrock

Chose the eastern tunnel, and the journey continued

Through a succession of arches appearing before

Them as if they were the aisles of a gothic cathedral
