There’s a strange fantasy feel to the ocean, this amazing part of our planet that we are still trying to understand. The fact that they are trying to hunt down a mythical beast is not that far fetched because “Either we know every variety of creature populating our planet or we do not.” (pg 13) Math, names, dates, latitude and longitude, and news stories were all details that lent a lot of realism to this fictional story. Jules Verne focused on facts and details to make it feel real. In Journey to the Center of the Earth the science was so outdated it was practically unreadable to me. Despite being so old, the science is not that inaccurate. I liked Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea waaaay better than Journey to the Center of the Earth. But Nemo's mission is one of revenge-and his methods coldly efficient. Together Nemo and Aronnax explore the underwater marvels, undergo a transcendent experience amongst the ruins of Atlantis, and plant a black flag at the South Pole. Aronnax embarks on an expedition to hunt down a sea monster, only to discover instead the Nautilus, a remarkable submarine built by the enigmatic Captain Nemo.
