The Great Explorers

The Great Explorers were courageous individuals who traveled beyond familiar territories to discover new lands, civilizations, and routes. They often sought trade opportunities, scientific knowledge, or to expand their country's influence. Notable explorers like Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, and Ferdinand Magellan navigated uncharted oceans, mapped unknown regions, and contributed to our understanding of the world’s geography. Their journeys often involved significant challenges, including harsh environments and uncertain risks. Their discoveries reshaped global maps, connected distant cultures, and laid the groundwork for international exploration and exchange we see today.
