North America
Description
North America is perpetually reinventing itself. The continent is also a wild world of rivers, plains and ice, where iridescent-colored deserts lie alongside luxuriant valleys and mountains holding many a secret. From the Far North to the Deserts of Utah, from the Rockies to Death Valley, the sites it features are on the scale of the continent itself. A Far North among the Earth's oldest; "Great Plains" born from the sea; a vast mountain in the middle of a continent: the Rockies; and activity zones that are scorching hot topics: the Yellowstone dormant volcano and a moving fault line ripping through California-the San Andreas fault.
