Alexander von Humboldt and the Polar Hollows Speculation
Scientist Alexander von Humboldt, a friend of Thomas Jefferson, is noted for his early study of the Aztec Sunstone and his speculation regarding hollows at the Earth's poles. Humboldt believed the behavior of the magnetosphere necessitated large cavernous features at the poles, a theory that fueled 19th-century expeditions like the Sims Expedition. His influence remains visible in American geography and Masonic scientific circles.
