The Phantom of the Poles

About this book

What if the polar regions conceal entrances into the earth itself? William Reed builds a theory in which explorers approaching the poles have misunderstood the world beneath their feet.

The Phantom of the Poles gathers travellers' reports, geographical puzzles and speculative reasoning to defend a hollow-earth model. Its hollow-earth model conflicts with established geography and geophysics. The entertaining part is watching Reed turn every anomaly of the Arctic into a possible hint that the planet's shape is stranger than maps suggest.
