We were some 100 miles down. By now, we were way past the crust. As soon as we were to the upper mantle, you could feel the temperature rise. There wasn’t much to see. Yet. Just a lot of hot, sticky sand. Cassidy almost got stuck in it. It was almost like quicksand. We used the volcano’s walls to grip and pull her out. We were half way to the lower mantle who knows what lays there!
Chapter 3-The Layers
Now, over 200 miles down, in the lower mantle, is nothing. Heat. And wait! An unexpected surprise actually, some form of flowers. They appear to be thriving. Some sort of species that doesn’t need light or water to live. I should bring some to land for further study. Now entering the outer crust expect A LOT of heat. (Haha I sounded like a flight attendant!)
We must have reached the inner core because it is so hard to breathe from the air density. There was also solid rock lining the whole cave-type opening. We must have been smack in the middle of the core because we were being pulled both ways. Ouch!
Wouldn’t you know it? 2,000 miles down and we are cold! It is amazingly quite bright, and not warm. You’d expect heat because with light, is heat. It is becoming harder to breathe so Cassidy and I put on our breathing devices. We are such smart cookies we knew we should take them. Everywhere we stepped, we had trouble getting out of because the floor was sticky from liquid metal not fully liquidized, just goopy. Now came a rush of air and a sea of brightness.
