"In the Abyss" is a short story by H. G. Wells, first published in 1896 in ''Pearson's Magazine''.〔, accessed 22 Dec 2014.〕 It was included in ''The Plattner Story and Others'', a collection of short stories by Wells first published in 1897. The story describes a journey to the ocean bed in a specially-designed metal sphere; the explorer within discovers a civilization of human-like creatures. ==Historical background== The Challenger expedition, arranged by the Royal Society, was the first systematic deep-sea exploration. From 1872 to 1876, HMS ''Challenger'' surveyed and explored around the world; the physical and chemical qualities of the deep sea were investigated, and biological samples were collected by dredges. Findings of the expedition were published until 1895. The bathysphere, a spherical deep-sea submersible which Elstead's apparatus seems to resemble, first appeared in the 1930s.
