after they have recovered, they board a train with their vehicles, and make a second attempt at running over a summit: this time, the jungfrau. getting higher and higher every minute, with dirigible balloons attached to the train, they rise into space and are swallowed by the sun. the travelers land with a crash. they are happy to be alive, but the heat is too much. all but one of the travelers are loaded into an icebox but are suddenly frozen. the remaining traveler, crazyloff himself, finds a bundle of straw among the debris and starts a fire to melt the ice. the travelers thaw and are happily moved over to the expedition's submarine, which is launched off a cliff on the sun, plummets through space, and falls into an ocean on earth.
