The olden days, like that of the Greeks, had thoughts of the Gods being up, and the underworld being below, but we now know that there's nothing below but magma and a core, and that Gods don't sit in the clouds. So where do you picture Heaven/Hell to be?

Unfortunately, Christianity's view of Heaven/Hell seems to be all caught up in that mythology. There's all kinds of religious imagery about Hell being underground and Heaven being up in the clouds, although no Biblical support.
Personally, I see them as in a different physical/spiritual dimension...whatever that means.

Depends upon the religion you follow.
Some people do not believe in anything.
Some say there is no real eternal afterlife, simply a waiting room of a sorts before you are reincarnated.
Some believe whole heartedly in the "everything good" is heaven while "hell" is the reverse.
There are those who believe that there is a single place where all the dead go, not just the "bad" or "good".
It is whatever you feel comfortable in, be it nothing or somplace totally elaborate.

I feel Heaven is in your heart and that one day Heaven will be set up as the New Jerusalem on Heaven. I feel Hell is death itself so the grave is Hell. I also feel Satan is bound to the earth so perhaps in some way this is Hell too.
Teachings I have grown up learning from The Holy Bible.

Heaven in the North sky (stars), in another dimension. Hell in the core of the earth... with the magma, as Hell is hot.

I guess I always picture it as heaven being somewhere out there in the universe and hell being in the earth's core, but they're probably not even in this dimension. I don't think they're physical places in the way we think of them.

I personally don't believe in either, but I imagine if I did it would be in a different "realm" or outside layer, agreeing with the up and down as they say. Similar to the theory of astral bodies and that they visit other worlds. I imagine that there are many layers to our world and supernatural spirits are just another layer, if that makes any sense at all :)

Heaven and Hell are not "places" in the usual sense, because "places" require space. Heaven and hell exist in eternity, outside of time and space. Heaven was "where" God was before matter, energy, time and space were created. It is "where" God and those who are saved will be after matter, energy, time and space cease to exist. Hell is "where" those who have rejected God will exist for eternity.

I picture hell a being in the dead center of the earth, and that volcanoes are vents for hell.
Heaven is way outside our galaxy and we'll never be able to reach it by space ship.

You were expecting windows and room service?
Nothing below but magma? How convenient.

Heaven / hell, good / bad, right / wrong, etc. are all within you and they are all reflections of your point of view, judgement and self.
How you see and understand what you see and understand makes all things what they are for you.
Your view is your own and is your own choice. You must accept the responsibility and consequences for the same.
May it be well with you.
