Description
The Atlas Obscura Explorers Guide for the Worlds Most Adventuruous Kid is an imaginative expedition to 100 weird-but-true places on earth. The authors take the reader hopscotching from country to country, not by location, but by type of attraction. For example, visit the site of the Tunguska event in Siberia, where a meteor slammed into the earth in 1908and then skip over to the Yucatan, ground zero for the ancient meteor crash that caused the mass extinction of dinosaurs. Then, while in Mexico, tour the fantastical Naica caves, home to crystals ten times larger than the average personthen, turn the page to Vietnam to a cave so vast you could fly a 747 through it. Illustrated in gorgeous and appropriately evocative full-color art, this book is a passport to a world of hidden possibilities.
