Exploration
For centuries explorers from Christopher Columbus to Neil Armstrong and Jane Goodall have pushed the limits of the human experience, showing incredible guts, vision, and achievement along the way. Past or present, who do you consider the best of the best? What frontiers still remain unconquered? And why explore?

The Amyr Klink is simple and the best explorer of world, because your circunavegation alone for the Southern Ocean is fantastic, incredible.

There are many places still we don't know about, and I think National Geographic Society is one of the best way to learn and explore.

Christopher Columbus is very interesting some information about him is.......Christopher Columbus
1451-1506 Great explorer
INTRODUCTION Christopher Columbus was possibly one of the greatest explorers ever known. BACKGROUND Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451, and died on May 20, 1506. Columbus was married in 1479. His wife, Dona Felipa, died after his son was born.
Christopher Columbus had two brothers. His dad was a weaver. When Columbus was older he helped his dad on the loom. He had little education and only when he was an adult, learned to read and write. He believed that the world was round, not flat, and tried for seven years to prove his point. Columbus always wanted to go to sea. Columbus believed that he could find India by sailing westward. ACCOMPLISHMENTS Christopher Columbus was one of the greatest sea men and explorers. He was granted three ships for his first voyage. They were the Pinta, the Santa Maria, and the Nina. On his first voyage he traveled west and found an island in the Bahamas. Columbus landed in the New World on October 12, 1492.
On the second voyage he passed Puerto Rico and Navidad on November 27-28. On his third voyage he found South America, and Jamaica. On his fourth and last voyage, Columbus found Guanaja Island, and Honduras in Central America. Christopher Columbus tried to reach India but instead found the New World.
In the West Indies he saw foods such as pineapples, sweet potatoes, and corn. Columbus used a sand glass to time the speed of the ship. In Cuba he found Indians smoking the plant known as tobacco. IMPACT Christopher Columbus discovered the coast of South America. He also discovered the West Indies and Central America. He discovered the Bahamas, Cuba, and Haiti. ________________________________________
This picture was painted because Columbus found the New World.

We must never forget the
earlier explorers who first
reached places like (where I
come from) Fiji -the very first
people (Lapita origin) Fijians-
Melanesians,Polynesians..
Abel Tasman came and
"sighted" Fiji much later!
Somehow their expeditions
seemed even more
courageous and filled with
adventure.

Hmmmm, My favorite explorer. That might be a hard question, when I have to consider that I have many favorites. Among them are Shackleton, Hillary, Norgay, Wade Davis, John Long, Dean Potter, Neil Armstrong, Mike Cameron, Goran Kropp, John Chatterton, John Wesley Powell, Lewis and Clark, Norman Vaughan, Steve Donothan, Newton, Edward Abbey, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. Picking between them is like choosing a favorite child, I respect and look up to them all, but how can I choose one when all of them have contributed so much to the furthering of knowledge about the world, or have pushed the limits just far enough to explore new places and unclimbed peaks. People such as these make me strive to become such a person. To use my knowledge and guts to push the limits to benefit humanity. While it seems at times that we are running out of things to explore, this is only a fasaud considering the amount of information still to be uncovered in space and in the ocean. While terrestrial land has been catalogged and every square mile has been photographed, there are still new things discovered everyday, and many more that might never be discovered in our lifetimes anyway. Sometimes I think to myself, "What is really left to explore" and usually it is hard to find an exciting answer, but I assure you that we will never run out of things to explore, and I can also assure you that as long as there are things that are left to explore, there will be explorers to find them.

I think Michael Fay should garner a lot of respect and admiration for his Mega transect of the African interior. I think going where no one has ever gone before automatically qualifies you for greatness.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes is probably the most accomplished living explorer. His accomplishments are staggering. However, Mike Horn must come in a close second due to his recent amazing Arctice explorations.

My vote goes to ERNEST SHACKLETON, because altough never achieving his goals, he was a champion of believing in LIFE and not sacrificing his life or that of his crew to achieving his goals.

I have been exploring all my life,
I have been to places far and wide,
Met poeple of different cast & creed,
Listened to all the languages they speak,
But the best all I like to explore,
Is deepest recesses of my own soul,
It's taken me places
never visited before,
I surprise myself wiyh the depth of my core,
I think I AM MYSELF
THE GREATEST EXPLORER ON THIS EARTH.

Adventurer, explorer, & mountaineer Eric Shipton, who eschewed large scale extravagant expeditions.
Edmund Hillary describes him succinctly:
“Eric Shipton was a hero to me. He did all the things I wanted to do - exploring remote areas, crossing unknown glaciers and passes, and forcing a way through incredibly rough and unknown country. When I was invited to join his British Everest Reconnaissance in 1951 it was like the answer to a prayer. And Eric lived up to what I expected of him - tough and determined, incurably inquisitive about unvisited remote areas, and yet gentle and kind to young companions. He was a great explorer and a great man.”

Sam Baker, a poster-boy for 19th century African explorers. He not only played a significant role in filling in blank spots on the maps of the Sudan and Ethiopia, but managed a small Egyptian army and river flotilla. Oh di I mention he was also paid a salary of 10,000 pounds per year! His wife Florence deserves equall billing, and I am amazed the two have yet to make it to some mini-series!

The explorers of the
Antarctic are the
greatest to me.
Reason being is the
fact they were in the
middle of an extreme
continent and dared
to go further. Plus NG
Traveler has a
category for people
who like to explore:
Geo-savvys.
