Description
SUBJECT: "England's Challenger in 1872-76 traveled 68,890 nautical miles, collecting a vast number of new marine specimens and material for 50 volumes of new knowledge. Alexander Agassiz and Prince Albert of Monaco were members of the oceanographic expedition. The geography of the sea is described - ocean trenches that could swallow Mount Everest - rivers 1000 times greater in flow than the Mississippi - abyssal plains - ridges unlike those above ground. A full account of the ocean currents, earthquakes, tidal waves, landslides, and volcanic eruptions - and the marine flora and fauna." - from Amzon
