Informed speculation welcome.

Informed speculation: The inner horizon is the actual surface of the black hole? As opposed to the event horizon, which is the area above the surface which denotes where gravity becomes too strong for anything to escape. I.e., the inner horizon is something you could actually stand on (disregarding what the effects of gravity on you would be), and the event horizon could be thought of as an atmosphere.

maybe?
