"Thor Heyerdahl: Who Made a Daring Voyage Across the Pacific on the Kon-Tiki Raft" by Gerry Bailey recounts the extraordinary journey of Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl. In 1947, determined to prove that ancient South American civilizations could have settled the islands of Polynesia, Heyerdahl constructed the Kon-Tiki, a raft made of balsa wood. With a small crew, he embarked on a thrilling 4,300-mile expedition across the Pacific Ocean. Facing challenges from turbulent seas and treacherous storms, the voyage tested their resilience and ingenuity. Heyerdahl's adventure not only cemented his place in history but also sparked interest in the mysteries of ancient oceanic travel. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
