20,000 Leaues Under the Sea

A detailed Summary of 20,000 Leaues Under the Sea

· Monsieur Aronnax (French natural science professor at the Paris Museum)

· Captain Nemo (captain of the Nautilus - seeks revenge for the oppressed)

· Consiel (M. Aronnax's loyal and passive servant)

· Ned Land (violent Canadian whaler)

Place: the Nautilus, an indestructible submarine Time: 1866-1867 Mood: hopeful

The Nautilus has made many hostile actions toward other sea vessels. In an attempt to sink the Nautilus off the coast of Japan M. Aronnax, Consiel, and Ned Land were thrown into the sea and taken prisoners of the Nautilus.

After acquainting the three new passengers with himself and the Nautilus Captain Nemo began an underwater tour of the world, starting with a hunting expedition in the underwater forests of the Crespo Islands in the Mid-Pacific. From there they passed through the Torres

Strait between Australia and New Guinea were they encountered some cannibalistic savages. After crossing, they visited an underwater coral graveyard reserved for the crew of the Nautilus. They then headed northwest to the pearl fisheries of Ceylon just south of India.

The Nautilus's next stop is the South Pole. They traveled underneath the Great Ice Barrier and rose in an open body of water with scattered islands at the pole. On their way back to the Atlantic Ocean the Nautilus was temporarily trapped beneath the Great Ice Barrier by an ice mountain that fell through the ice plain and then rose to pin the Nautilus between itself and the bottom of the Great Ice Barrier.

They then took the Nautilus to Atlantis, the vast ancient continent that sunk into the Atlantic Ocean because of its volcanic activity and has now become a mere legend to society.
