Hollow Earth, or Does Mother Earth Have Holes on the Poles?

Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd - a recipient of the highest honor (the Medal of Honor) awarded by United States for heroic deeds - was known as a pioneer in American aviation and polar exploration. He was the man who reported in enigmatic words, which had since become an object of controversy, what he saw beyond the North Pole after his historic flight to it. The year his polar explorations began was 1926. Part of his cryptic report, after his claimed flight to the North Pole, was as follows:

"That enchanted Continent in the sky, land of everlasting mystery!"


"I'd like to see that land beyond the (North) Pole. That area beyond the Pole is the Center of the Great Unknown:"

Admirers of the admiral think that these words of Byrd can't possibly be understood if one continue to assume the old earth model that theoretically asserts that the earth is a spherical solid with a hellishly hot center.

Dr. R.W. Bernard summarized this quite pointedly in this manner: "(Byrd) would have no reason to use such a term as 'Land of Everlasting Mystery'. Byrd was not a poet, and what he described was what he observed from his plane. During his Arctic flight of 1,700 miles beyond the North Pole he reported by radio that he saw below him, not ice and snow, but land areas consisting of mountains, forests, green vegetation, lakes and rivers, and in the underbrush saw a strange animal resembling the mammoth found frozen in Arctic ice. Evidently he had entered a warmer region than the icebound Territory that extends from the Pole to Siberia. If Byrd had this region in mind he would have no reason to call it 'the Great Unknown', since it could be reached by flying across the Pole to other side of the Arctic Region."

      

Not everyone though was convinced that Admiral Byrd was able to reach the North Pole as had been claimed. Among the admiral's detractors was Dennis Rawlins who found discrepancies between Byrd's report to the Secretary of the Navy and his 1926 diary. These inconsistencies, to Rawlins' mind, put to question the entire claim that Byrd did reach the North Pole in 1926. Click here to view further details of Rawlins' points.

The controversies over the question whether we have a solid earth or a hollow earth continue on to the present day. The following videos represent some of those who hold to the belief that we indeed, in their view, live on a hollow earth.
