In Jules Verne’s story, JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH, the entrance to the centre of Earth is hidden in the crater of the Snæfellsjökull volcano, covered in ice. The exit is in Mount Stromboli, a volcano in Italy. The Snæfellsjökull glacier has shrunk by half in the last century. Scientists estimate that the Icelandic glaciers will disappear in 150 to 200 years. The Snæfellsjökull glacier could disappear in the next 30 to 40 years.
