Let’s stay with the famous people. However, we don’t want you to tell us the name of a Norwegian explorer: That was Thor Heyerdahl. We are interested in which raft he sailed across the Pacific from Callao (Peru) in 1947. He believed that the first settlers had come across the Pacific from South America. He wanted to prove this theory. The crossing was successful and made him and his raft world-famous. Today it can be seen in a museum in Oslo.
