Description

When Professor Pierre Aronnax and harpoonist Ned Land join an expedition to hunt a fierce "whale" that has been sinking ships, little do they expect that they will soon become captives of Captain Nemo, a self-exiled renegade who prowls the sea in his magnificent submarine, the Nautilus, seeking revenge against the civilized world that he feels has betrayed him.

Aboard the Nautilus, Aronnax and Land are introduced to an undersea world that is mysterious, marvellous, and exhilarating, and have extraordinary adventures among the flora and fauna of the ocean.
