“Sir Richard Branson to launch journeys to the center of the Earth through Virgin Volcanic” the website virginvolcanic.com claims, in one of two teasingly-timed announcements ahead of this weekend.
(Allvoices Global News) It appears to be an ongoing fight for supremacy between billionaires. James Cameron’s journey to the Mariana Trench in the Pacific, the deepest point of the Earth at a depth of 7-miles under the Pacific Ocean has stirred the competitive spirit in Sir Richard Branson.
The British billionaire plans to go to the very center of the Earth in a specially designed capsule which would add another brand to his Virgin range of transportation – this would be named the Virgin Volcanic.
Black Eyed Peas Singer will.i.am would probably accompany Sir Richard Branson on this historic journey to the center of the Earth.
In his words, volcanoes are an unexplored terrain and the next challenge to man.
(Adelaide Now) The announcement comes days after Hollywood director James Cameron grabbed headlines by making history’s first solo, and real, trip by submarine to the deepest point of the world’s oceans – the Mariana Trench in the Pacific.
It was an exploit that Branson, known for his pursuit of ballooning and sailing records, had had his eye on too.
