Torrid zone: History, Culture, Art & Regions

The torrid zone was the name given by ancient Greek and Roman geographers to the equatorial area of the Earth, so hot that it was thought to be impenetrable to sailors or explorers. That notion became a deterrent for European explorers until the 15th century and the notion that the torrid zone was uninhabitable was disproved by the 16th century.
