The Land Unknown

(1957)Directed by Virgil W. Vogel78 minAdventure, Fantasy, Science Fiction
“BEHIND A BARRIER OF ANTARCTIC ICE... A PARADISE OF HIDDEN TERRORS!”

In 1957, a Navy expedition flies toward Little America in Antarctica to investigate a warm-water lake reported a decade earlier. Commander Alan Roberts (Jock Mahoney) and reporter Maggie Hathaway (Shirley Patterson) are aboard a helicopter that a fierce storm forces down into a volcanic crater. Virgil W. Vogel shows what waits there in CinemaScope: a lush tropical jungle, green and steaming, with the helicopter's wreck lying in it.
