Towering peaks, deep trenches, scorching heat and pools of acid – these are just a few features that make Earth an extraordinary place. Visit the most extreme parts of our planet, including places so harsh that life seems miraculous and places humans can’t easily reach. What makes these locations so special? What can these extreme spots teach us? Find out with the help of Museum experts on this extreme adventure.
Digital Earth Academy is a new edition of the acclaimed Digital Earth series produced especially for students.
