Step in. Your expedition begins.
You descend, deeper than man has ever been. Through layers of rock, heat, and time. You pass the Earth's crust, the mantle, and an ocean of molten metal. Until you arrive at the heart of the Earth: a hidden world beneath everything that lives. Do you dare to descend?
Geolift can be seen and experienced at our Once Upon a Time... the Earth exhibition at the Next Nature Museum location.
