spot with Jacques Piccard to the top of its highest peak with Edmund Hillary, and even into the atmosphere by helium balloon with Ben Abruzzo. Mush
with Roald Amundsen to the South Pole, crawl through tight cave passages with John Wilcox, and kayak the Amazon River with Piotr Chmielinski. Geography comes alive through the recent history of exploration or just relax to a good story before you sleep.
