Summary
Earth's Coldest Places
Many people know that Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth, but they might not know why. Readers of this globetrotting volume will learn how the sun's rays affect our planet's surface. They'll also discover other bitter cold places around the globe and how people manage to live there. In one town in Russia, people leave their glasses at home so they don't freeze to their face! Science and social studies topics combine to present some truly absorbing and chilling peeks at some of the world's most fascinating and frigid places.
