Description
Al Davis shares his travel adventures in two extreme temperature settings. First, the Sahara Desert, the hottest place on Earth; where burkini and Brazilian bikinis are both on the beaches; where indigenous Berbers thrive, speak their original language, and represent half the population. Then South Georgia Island, where temperatures reach -21° F; where 900,000 king penguins live; where five million fur seals reside; and no one else. For each location, Al talks about the culture, environment, history, and shares plenty of photos!
