Bringing the world's great explorers to your fingertips, Fandex presents a chronological field guide to the boundary-breaking heroes of land, sea and sky. Discover the real Columbus, who ever after four voyages to the New World died believing he'd reached the Orient. Von Humboldt, who blazed through South America, studying Incan ruins and experimenting with electric eels and curare. Amundsen, who left a scalding note at the South Pole to greet his beaten rival, Scott. Not to mention Cheng Jo, the Chinese Columbus: Ibn Battuta, the Muslim Marco Polo; and Yuri Gagarin, the first man to orbit Earth.
