Description
In the last seven years the search and analysis of extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars has witnessed an efervescent activity by various groups that adopted different successful strategies to find large numbers of EMP stars. Suffice to say that the number of stars with metallicity below -4.5 has increased almost by a factor of five since 2010. In my review I will try to capture this exceptional activity from the observational side and the new insights (and problems !) that the newdiscoveries pose. I will also outline some of the future persepctives in the field that rest on future instruments and surveys.
