The Hollow Earth Expedition is the Greatest Expedition in the History of the World.
We are offering a chance for a few visionary investors to participate in what may be the Greatest Expedition of all time. There will be risk, adventure, and hopefully a very satisfying scientific and economic return. For many centuries people have been fascinated with the prospect that the Earth might be hollow. In the 1600’s Edmund Halley put his formidable scientific credibility behind the idea. Many others have done their best to tell the story, including Jules Verne. Although he was a fiction writer, Mr. Verne might be the single most important inspiration behind the entire NASA effort to reach the Moon in 1969. But after all this history, no one has actually gone to the North Pole regions to investigate the theory that there may be an opening in the crust to an interior void of the planet.

Deposit Requirement
A deposit of $750,000 must
be paid by December, 2010 to secure the Yamal
Charter. Your donations are critical to this
objective. Spread the word. It only
takes a few pennies per person to make this
happen.
It is proposed that the company raise funds through a film studio, investors, adventurers/explorers, corporate sponsors and the sale of DVDs of The Inner Earth Expedition Part One. The sale of 50,000 of the NPIIE Pre-Doc Part One DVD would generate $850,000.
The augmentation of these funds by investors and corporate sponsors who would substantially benefit from sponsorship and product placement is a primary focus.
The following companies have been contacted for sponsorships, and/or grants:

We strongly believe that once the development of the documentaries is funded, some of these sponsors as well as a studio and investors will come on board to support the project through funding and product placement, thus securing their unique branding and completing the funding of the Expedition and documentaries. Angels are also welcome and appreciated.
