This esoteric atlas takes trailblazing kids to 100 of the strangest places on Earth, including New Zealand and the Antarctic.

A ‘spacecraft cemetery’ off NZ’s east coast and ‘bioluminescent beasts’ of the Waitomo Caves feature, while the Blood Falls and lava lakes of Mt Erebus make up the Antarctic contribution.

Brimming with unusual facts, weird-but-true places to visit and lush illustrations, this book enables your kids to embark on an OE of the mind long before they leave home.
