EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1995, renowned Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl (1914-2002) is seen at his home in Tenerife, Canary Islands. The image captures Heyerdahl in his element, surrounded by the lush greenery of the island, reflecting on his remarkable expeditions and discoveries. Heyerdahl, best known for his groundbreaking Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947, is seen here in the later stages of his life. The Kon-Tiki expedition was a daring journey across the Pacific Ocean, during which Heyerdahl and his crew sailed a balsa wood raft named Kon-Tiki to prove that ancient Polynesians could have traveled from South America to the islands of the Pacific. The photograph shows Heyerdahl sitting on a wooden chair, wearing a green shirt and a pair of sunglasses, with a thoughtful expression on his face. In the background, a papyrus model of the Ra II, another of Heyerdahl's famous boats, can be seen. Ra II was used in an expedition in 1970 to test the theory that ancient Egyptians could have reached Polynesia. The image is a poignant reminder of Heyerdahl's lifelong dedication to exploring the connections between different cultures and civilizations. His expeditions, which challenged established theories and opened new avenues for research, continue to inspire and intrigue people around the world. This photograph, taken in the 1990s, captures a moment of quiet reflection for Thor Heyerdahl as he looks out at the beautiful landscape of Tenerife, perhaps pondering the many adventures and discoveries that lay behind him.
