Cardiff University geologists have discovered an undersea earth-crustless terrain which they intend to explore. The Earth's mantle is being lapped by the whispering waves. I wonder what is holding the inside in or the outside from pouring inside. Although most have vague notions that the planet is a red hot molten ball covered by a few, worryingly thin, layers discovering there are spots where layers are missing is most unsettling. Jules Verne was always a cause of childhood concern, deliberately poking holes, but this is real. And the Welsh intend to try and get bits out from underneath; there will be tears before bedtime.
Voyage to the Centre of the Earth isn't a patch on The Lost World, no Professor Challenger, for starters.

who knew Cardiff was the Hellmouth?
Lenna, The intrepid Welsh geologists are on their way to Atlantis (no doubt in the Ship of Fools) rather than poking about just off the Welsh coast itself ;that should have been explained, sorry.
Was there only one Hellmouth? Or lots with Sunnydale as the epicentre? There were certainly subsidiary entrances and exits because of the Ghost roads.
I'll just go and check ( I may be some time).
