From medieval trade expeditions to the conquest of Earth's most remote frontiers, great explorers continually expanded humanity's knowledge of the world. Marco Polo introduced Europe to the riches of the Far East, while Francis Drake proved that the world's oceans could be circumnavigated. James Cook charted vast areas of the Pacific and revealed islands little known to Europeans. Roald Amundsen became the first person to reach the South Pole, completing one of history's greatest polar expeditions. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay later stood atop Mount Everest, conquering one of the last great geographical challenges. This campaign celebrates the explorers whose courage reshaped our understanding of the world.
