Sample Text
"Tired of your day-to-day life? Looking for an escape? Why not browse through an atlas (a collection of maps). Maps can take you on flights of fancy all over the world-and even out of it. Of course, most people use maps to help them get from one place to another. But maps are also spurs to the imagination, suggesting where you could go, might go, will go-someday!"

EXPLORERSEXPLORERS
"Humans are exploring creatures. Some explorers have set sail across uncharted seas. Others have trekked across forbidding deserts or through dense jungles. Some have returned to tell their stories. Others have not. Some explorers are driven by the desire for wealth and fame. Others explore simply for the thrill of it. And still others explore to collect information about animals, plants, and people. . . "
ANTARCTICAANTARCTICA
"Do you like subzero weather? How about six months of darkness each year? Do howling blizzards make your day? Does a long walk in hurricane-force winds sound like fun? If so, then Antarctica is the place for you. The fifth largest continent is the coldest, driest, iciest, windiest, and highest-lying area on Earth. It also has the fewest people living on it-- only about one thousand in winter and four. . . "
