Publisher's Synopsis
Part of a series introducing children to science and geography. In this book, Professor Verne and his crew visit some of the very different terrains which exist around the world, from the Sahara desert to the Amazon rainforest. The answers to plenty of questions can be found, such as how the Himalayas formed, what the Pacific Ring of Fire is and why there are six months of solid daylight in the Arctic. There is also a quiz at the end of the book.
