Voyages & First Ascents
Ten questions on the great journeys of discovery, each with the credit placed where it actually belongs.
About this topic
Exploration history is full of claims that need a footnote, and this quiz supplies them. It covers the major voyages and expeditions across European, Arab and Chinese traditions, plus the polar races and the first ascent of Everest. Where the popular version of a story overstates one person\'s role, the explanation says so, including the crews, guides and navigators normally left out. The intention is accuracy rather than deflation, since the journeys remain remarkable once told properly.
