Did you know the deepest parts of the ocean are still largely unexplored? Courageous explorers risk their lives to go to these great ocean depths. Other explorers journey into deep volcanoes, caves, and mines. Who are they and why are they seeking a glimpse of the world deep below the earth's surface? Listen to find out!

Critic reviews
This series introduces young readers to 25 explorers whose expeditions pushed the limits of technology and human endurance. Dry prose relays the facts and risks of the missions. Explorers of the Deepest Places on Earth and Explorers of the Remotest Places on Earth have many possible curriculum tie-ins, as the deep-sea, volcano, and cave explorers who made scientific discoveries are noted in the text. Mount Everest narratives historically minimized the roles of Sherpas, but Explorers of the Highest Places on Earth highlights Tenzing Norgay and Kami Rita. Some of the environmental impacts of climbing are explained in Junko Tabei’s chapter. A glossary, a “Read More” section, websites, and an index are included. VERDICT A supplemental purchase for large collections. (Kacy Helwick, New Orleans Public Library)
