Journey To The Center Of The Earth Page #2

Sean, that was the year

that your dad went missing.

Now, look, you see this column

of numbers here?

If the 753, right here, was a 752,

then it would be...

Exactly the same.

What do these little blips mean?

Don't touch anything.

Those little blips are my life's work.

These four little blips

are your entire life's work?

Three. Three little blips.

One, two, three, four.

Iceland.

This makes sense.

Max saw the readings 10 years ago,

and he took off to investigate.

Now, if the readings are the same today

as they were then...

...this may be my only chance

to find out what happened.

- I'm gonna need your passport.

- For what?

I'm sorry, I have to get you to Canada

a little earlier than we planned.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about this.

A Journey to the Center of the Earth.

It's all set in Iceland,

which is where he must've gone.

These are all my dad's notes?

Look...

...Max and l...

Your dad and I were talking about

the possibility of volcanic tubes existing...

...that went down past the mantle,

towards the center of the Earth.

And that's what I think

he went looking for.

Sorry, I gotta put you on a flight

to Ottawa in the morning.

- And I'm calling Icelandair.

- No, no, look.

- Hey.

- I just got here, okay?

You're not gonna go and ditch me.

I was the person who found your life's work

fourth little blip thingy in the first place.

- This is my brother we're talking about.

- It's my dad.

Now, I don't have to be in Ottawa

for 10 days. I'm going with you.

Know how much to book

a last-minute flight to Reykjavk?

Something tells me you got it covered.

"Descend, bold traveler,

into the crater of the jokul of Sneffels...

...which the shadow of Scartaris touches

before the kalends of July...

...and you will attain

the center of the Earth."

Ooh.

Sorry.

What are you doing?

I'm deciphering these notations

that your father made in this book.

I think there's a code

behind the pairing of letters.

It might have something to do

with the periodic table.

For instance, I've got S-A, I-S, G-G.

I believe that P-B is on the periodic table

and that's plumbum.

- Plumbum means lead.

- What's "Sigurbjrn sgeirsson"?

What?

Well, it's right here. Read it down.

Sigurbjrn sgeirsson.

Oh. Uh...

Sigurbjrn sgeirsson, that's...

That's a clue. Maybe that's a place.

It could be a thing.

- What are you doing?

- I am Googling at 30,000 feet.

- Are you supposed to be doing that?

- Welcome to the 21 st century.

- Okay. Here.

- It's a person.

"Sigurbjrn sgeirsson,

executive director...

...of sgeirsson Institute

for Progressive Volcanology."

Max would've known this guy.
