What if we could tunnel to the centre of the Earth?

This book tells you everything you would need to know about a trip to the planet's core, with the proposed journey to be made using an ingenious Centre-Pod drilling vehicle. Starting with your first entry through the earth's mantle, at a boundary in the tectonic plates, you'll travel on through the geological layers to reach the twin layers of the earth's core.

Activities for your holiday could include anything from exploring a volcano to hunting for diamonds under the cratons, and from discovering what it's like at the hypocentre of an earthquake to riding up a mantle plume on your return journey.

Book Features:
  • Imagine you could travel to any place and any time in the entire universe . . .
  • Where would you go to? To Mars? To the Big Bang? To Infinity and beyond? To the centre of the Earth? What would you find, and what would you do when you got there?
  • This attractive new series of books tell you everything you need to know about your journeys in space, time and the imagination.
