It explains how they came to be, when to see them best, and thankfully, the natural laws behind their unique existence. The optics of Italy's Blue Grotto are explained as is the origin of Ngoronga Crater, and the Mayan mysteries of Machu Picchu. But although a great amount of information is passed along, it is never pedantic. The information shared, important to the development of the 13-16 year old target group, comes in a light narrative-the conversation tone of an awed friend. |
