We stood at the top of Mount Sneffels in Iceland. This was the volcano Arne went
into.
Now it was our turn to go inside!

From the top, I looked out and I could see the whole island. It was beautiful. ‘Then

I looked down, deep into the volcano. Did Arne really go in there? There was
no
time to think about that. It was time to go!

|

Down, down, down we climbed. The climb was very hard, but in the
afternoon, we

were at the bottom. I sat down to rest. I imagined the volcano suddenly
erupting,

with rocks, ash, and lava coming out. “This is a terrible idea!” I thought, but
the

professor didn’t seem to feel this way. He was very happy, and he ran here and
there,

looking at everything. Suddenly, he called, “Axel, come here!” and pointed to the
wall. On the wall, I could see the word Arne.
