IF YOU will look at any good map of Venus you will see that the land mass called Anlap lies northwest of the island of Vepaja, from which Duare and I had just escaped. On Anlap lies Korva, the friendly country toward which I pointed the nose of our plane. Of course there is no good map of Venus, at least none that I ever have seen; because the scientists of the southern hemisphere of the planet, the hemisphere to which Chance carried my rocket ship, have an erroneous conception of the shape of their world.

Of course there is no good map of Venus at least none that I ever have seen because the scientists of the southern hemisphere of the planet the hemisphere to which Chance carried my rocket ship have an erroneous conception of the shape of their world. They believe that Amtor as they call it is shaped like a saucer and floats upon a sea of molten rock. This seems quite evident to them for how else might the spewing of lava from the craters of volcanoes be explained They also believe that Karbol Cold Country lies at the periphery of their saucer whereas it is as a matter of fact the Antarctic region surrounding the south pole of Venus.
