On the continent of South America, Mount Aconcagua is the top of the world. It’s the tallest peak in the Andes and one of Earth’s ultimate mountaineering challenges: the Seven Summits. For kids age 12 and up, this science and social studies guide travels to the mountain’s slopes in Argentina and examines its geology, plant and animal life, and the climbers and cultures throughout history who’ve attempted its summit or lived in its shadow. Special climbing equipment and routes are defined for future adventurers. Includes a glossary, sidebars, and profiles of notable climbers.
