Summary	Explore the wide world of fascinating facts with this fully illustrated title. Did you know that around 550 people have been to space, but only around 20 people have been to the bottom of the ocean? Or that the deepest hole ever dug by people is deeper than the deepest part of the ocean, but still only 530th of the distance to the centre of the Earth? Or that Mawsynram, a town in India, receives over 11 metres of rain a year, while there are parts of the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica that haven't seen any rain in over 2 million years? This book is packed with amazing facts and incredible contrasts.
