Description

On the continent of Antarctica, Mount Vinson is the top of the world. It’s the tallest peak in the Ellsworth Mountains and one of Earth’s ultimate mountaineering challenges: the Seven Summits. For kids age 12 and up, this science and social studies guide takes readers to the mountain’s slopes and examines its geology, plant and animal life, and the climbers and cultures throughout history who’ve attempted its summit or lived in its shadow. Special climbing equipment and routes are defined for future adventurers. Includes a glossary, sidebars, and profiles of notable climbers.
