My Thoughts:

   Welcome to the amazing world of exploration!
  

Simon Tyler has put together a wonderful book about the remote and wild places on Earth and the adventures and explorations that led to their discovery.

From the hottest and coldest places on Earth to the deepest and most dangerous, Adventures On Earth will take you around the world and throughout history to some of the most extreme places ever discovered.

This book features early explorations over land and sea and the discovery of new and exciting places such as deserts, jungles, and rivers, as well as more modern means of adventure such as underwater cave diving or spelunking.

Learn about the Arctic and the Trans-Arctic Expedition that took over a year and 3,725 miles to travel, or the Norwegian explorer who successfully traveled to the South Pole with his team in the Antarctic.  Discover the highest mountain ranges of the world, such as the Himalayas, and the high-altitude climbers that risked their lives to conquer these mountains. There's plenty more to discover as well!

This book has fascinating facts about history, geography, and even conservation, paired with enjoyable graphic art.

Many thanks to Pavilion Books for a copy of this fascinating nonfiction book for kids! We are no strangers to adventure but books like this help us travel to places we've never been and may never go!
