The Albatross continues its journey across the Himalayas, Caspian Sea, Africa, and the Atlantic, as Robur marvels at the world below. The unwilling guests grow more defiant, plotting to escape or destroy the airship. After a perilous trip over a volcano, a final disaster strikes—the Albatross is wrecked. The survivors return to tell of their incredible experience, but society doubts their tale. In the end, Robur vanishes again, this time in a new machine, the Go-Ahead, leaving behind a provocative question about man’s future in the skies.
