Whenever I advance the idea of a small Polar Hole everyone assures me it cannot possibly exist. I grew up on a farm in Africa and observed that paths appear easily whenever people or animals travel along a common route. Paths appear at logical places. The Arctic ocean is one and a half times the size of the USA. It is a fallacy to imagine that the entire Arctic is a veritable highway. Travel in such remote regions is largely dictated by logistics, range of aircraft and the weather. We may conclude that there is no Polar Hole at the North Pole or along the commonly used routes. If a Polar Hole exists, and if it is small enough and if it lies some distance away from commonly travelled routes then indeed it could be hidden by Governments if they so chose by simply removing it from maps and satellite photographs. Indeed, it may even have a certain amount of natural camouflage in the form of haze and mist perhaps due to temperature differentials between the air inside a Hollow Earth and air on the outside.

Hollow Earthers like Marshall Gardner tried to use warm winds to show that there was a tropical climate inside the Inner Earth. Similarly, he and others tried to prove that the oceans were actually warmer and more ice-free than predicted. They even tried to show that trees and vegetation floated out from the Inner Earth and that fresh-water icebergs formed in rivers inside the Earth. It was natural therefore that they latched on to evidence of an Open Polar sea. The Open Polar sea is an idea which was around for centuries. It was believed that if you travelled far north enough, beyond the edge of the Polar Ice cap, that you would reach an area where there were no icebergs and where the sea was ice-free. Dr Kane, one of America's earliest polar explorers, undertook a daring voyage in the 1850's by attempting to break through the ice barrier into the Open Polar sea. His crews sighted large expanses of open water north of Greenland and this helped to fuel the idea of an Open Polar sea. In later years it was discovered that there are indeed large areas of the Arctic Ocean which don't freeze. However, the size and position of these areas vary. While such areas exist, it does not mean that the entire Arctic Ocean is ice-free as suggested by the Open Polar sea idea...

I did not find any evidence which could convince me that warm air and ocean currents emanated from a Polar Hole. However, I did discover a table drawn up by Milankovitch who was a very famous meteorologist. Milankovitch's table shows that the temperature at the North Pole is approximately 30 degrees warmer than it should be. But does this prove anything? Probably not. Warm air from the equator may well be the cause of this.

When people hear of the Polar Hole idea they immediately wonder if the Ozone holes might be related to it. I looked into the problem. I did find some evidence which made me wonder if Ozone could be produced by an Inner Sun and then blown out of the Inner Earth.

Finally, in considering the possibility of a small Polar Hole, I discuss the navigational problems of finding such a hole if it is not located directly at the North Pole. My thinking is that a "mini-offset-Polar Hole" would be a difficult thing to discover and that many people may wander over the edge of it without really realising what is happening. Depending on their direction they may actually make navigational corrections which would then lead them directly out of it again.

The search for Polar Holes continues in the next chapter.
