Ever wanted to follow in the footsteps of the world’s most famous explorers? With this book, you can map the unknown, cross perilous seas and travel into strange, uncharted lands. The World of Exploration is packed full of voyages of discovery, daring adventures and desperate struggles to survive in the world’s wildest places.
Sail around the world with Ferdinand Magellan; discover trails with pathfinder John Fremont; and sledge to the South Pole with Roald Amundsen. The World of Exploration will lead you on many exciting journeys, from a ride on a camel across the Sahara to a trip into the ocean to visit the wreck of the Titanic.
