"Mount Terror off the coast of Antarctica was named after a ship. While there's plenty to fear about this landform, which is actually a volcano, the scariest facts of all concern the terrifying natural conditions of Antarctica. Readers will learn about Mount Terror and the explorers who risked their lives to learn about it and other parts of the frozen Antarctic. Some, such as Robert Falcon Scott, didn't live to tell the tale. Vivid photographs and frightening facts of this landscape will inspire readers' imaginations"--Provided by the publisher.
