Description
Imagine exploring the most extreme parts of our amazing planet-trekking though the driest desert, climbing the snowiest mountaintops, and diving to the deepest regions of the ocean floor.

These mind-bending facts and photographs invite readers on an exciting, and sometimes unbelievable, scientific expedition of Earth's most amazing records!
