EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, renowned Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl (1914-2002) is seen at his home in Tenerife, Canary Islands, in the year 1995. The image captures Heyerdahl in his element, surrounded by the lush greenery of the island, reflecting on his extraordinary adventures. Heyerdahl, best known for his daring Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947, is seen here in the latter part of his life, still filled with the spirit of exploration and discovery. The Kon-Tiki expedition was a groundbreaking journey where Heyerdahl and his team sailed a balsa wood raft from South America to the Polynesian islands, aiming to prove the ancient theory that Polynesia was settled from South America rather than Asia. In this photograph, Heyerdahl is dressed casually, wearing a green t-shirt and shorts, with a pair of binoculars slung around his neck. His home, nestled amidst the lush vegetation, is a testament to his connection with nature and his love for the sea. The Kon-Tiki expedition was not just an exploration, but also a testament to human endurance and the power of the human spirit. The Kon-Tiki expedition was not his only notable achievement. Heyerdahl also led the Ra II expedition in 1969, where he sailed a replica of an ancient Egyptian solar boat from Morocco to Barbados, demonstrating the ancient Egyptians' knowledge of ocean navigation. This photograph of Thor Heyerdahl at his home in Tenerife in the 1990s is a poignant reminder of his incredible legacy as an explorer and his unwavering commitment to understanding the human past. The image captures the essence of a man who lived his life in pursuit of knowledge and discovery, leaving an indelible mark on history.
