To not only survive in this world but excel, Jill has had to learn how to master self-doubt like no other. Often the lone woman in a male-dominated domain, she tests the limits of human endurance at every tight turn, risking her life with each mission. She's an explorer, a scientist's eyes and hands underwater-discovering new species and examining our finite freshwater reserves-and a filmmaker documenting the wonders of underwater life. In a workday, she might swim below your home, through conduits in volcanoes or cracks in the world's largest iceberg. "If I die, it will be in the most glorious place that nobody has ever seen." As one of the most celebrated cave divers in the world, Jill Heinerth has seen the planet in a way almost no one has. Taking you to places no one has ever gone before, and blending memoir, adventure, and science, Into the Planet is a riveting account of one of the most dangerous yet exhilarating pursuits in the world: diving to the centre of the earth.
