Here's the Plot for Your Next Novel of High Adventure
Why the Soviets Sponsored a Doomed Expedition to a Hollow Earth Kingdom: In December of 1923, two unlikely travelers arrived in Darjeeling, India intent on finding what could not possibly exist: Shambhala, a kingdom located inside a hollow earth.

This article does not mention that H. P. Lovecraft was a big Nicholas Roerich fan, and mentioned his strange, almost visionary painting numerous times in AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS. Which story, it occurs to me, may have been inspired in part by this expedition.
