Each volume in the "Planetary Exploration" series has been designed to introduce aspects of the solar system to young readers. The text has been illustrated with artwork which provides a scientifically accurate portrayal of features of the planet's surfaces, and gives such details as a sunrise over the rings of Saturn and the total eclipse of the sun. This volume describes Earth's closest neighbour, a planet of intense cold and constant volcanic eruptions. Illustrations depict the surface of the planet and the search for Martian life as explored by the "Viking" satellite.
