In this continuation of the acclaimed book Light, award-winning illustrator Jennifer N. R. Smith takes us on a magical journey through the most exciting natural phenomena on the planet – from volcanic eruptions and geysers to the Northern Lights in the night sky.

The Earth may seem solid and still, but deep beneath its surface, it is constantly changing, rotating, and transforming. Its untamed power is what creates surreal natural phenomena and dramatic landscapes, as well as shocking natural disasters.

In this richly illustrated book, young readers will discover the explosive power of volcanoes, a cave filled with giant crystals, a hot spring teeming with snow monkeys, dinosaurs hidden among layers of stone, and an astonishing ecosystem that includes hot waters in hydrothermal springs, extreme weather events, and incredible optical phenomena such as the Northern Lights, pillars of light, and sun dogs.

Super-detailed, spectacular, and fascinating in its own right, this book will inspire young earth scholars to see the wonders of the world around them.
