HAS THE NORTH POLE BEEN REACHED?
By David M. Summers
HAS THE NORTH POLE BEEN REACHED?
An essential part of the case for a Hollow Earth is that there is no
North Pole. No single point, but instead a big area which is a warm
sea dipping gradually into th interior of the Earth. This may sound
pretty outrageous but lets look at some of the evidence which leans
toward this concept. The first point I'd like to make clear is,
compasses go completely haywire in the Arctic Circle. The very humble
and renown Norwegian explorer, Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, on his expedition
to try and reach the North Pole in 1895, lost his bearings and freely
admitted that he had not the slightest idea where he was for a very
long time.
FEBRUARY, 1895
After landing from the vessel Fram, Nansen set off northward with a
sledge loaded with supplies toward the pole and later return via
Spitzbergen by the way of Franz Joseph Land. From the 29th of March,
1895, until the spring of 1896, Nansen was completely lost! He noted
that after he journeyed through the colder regions that the
weather tumed to a much warmer climate. In fact, whenever the wind
blew down from the north the temperature begun to rise. At one time
the sun became unbearably hot! Nansen took soundings and found that
the water in the polar regions is far deeper than was thought,
discovering that the water was warmer the deeper the sounding. Where
does this warm water emanate from? He came across animals that
according to accepted science, should not even be up there. On 26
April, 1895, Nansen wrote: "I was not a little surprised yesterday
morning when I suddenly saw a track of an animal in the snow. It was
that of a fox, about W.S.W true, and went in an easterly direction.
The trail was quite fresh. What in the world was the fox doing up
here? There were also unequivocal signs that it had not been without
food. Were we in the vicinity of land? I looked around for it, but
the weather was thick all day yesterday, and we might have been near
it without seeing it. In any case a warm-blooded mammal in the eighty-
fifth parallel. We had not gone far before we came across another fox
track, it went in about the same direction as the other, and followed
the trend of the lane which had stopped us and by which we had been
obliged to camp. It is incomprehensible what these animals live on up
here, but presumably they are able to snap up some crustaceans in the
open waterways. But why do they leave the coast? That is what puzzles
me most. Can they have gone astray? There seems little probability of
that."

Another source of information is Marshall B. Gardner, who wrote the
work 'A Journey To The Earth's Interior'. Within these pages he
quotes Dr. Nansen concerning the Eskimo and experiences. Nansen
states:- "That the Eskimo came from the interior of the Earth, that
is to say, from a location which they could not easily explain to the
Norwegians who might have asked them where they originated from, is
shown by the fact that the early Norwegians regarded them as
supernatural people, a species of fairy."
Gardner went on to quote from the second volume of Nansen's work 'In
Northern Mists';- "I have already stated that the Norse
name 'Skraeling' for Eskimo must have originally been used as a
designation of fairies or mythical creatures. Furthermore, there is
much that would imply that when the Icelanders first met with the
Eskimo in Greenland they looked upon them as fairies; they, therefore
called them 'trolls', an ancient common name for various sorts of
supernatural beings..."
