Il capitano Jacques-Yves Cousteau è stato uno dei grandi esploratori del XX secolo, un regista e amato avventuriero che ha documentato le meraviglie sotto l’oceano con attrezzature rivoluzionarie. Il suo lavoro è diventato sinonimo di un’esistenza trascorsa in mare e sulla sua famosa barca, la Calypso. Ha scritto più di 50 libri sulla sua vita acquatica e ha inventato l’Aqua-Lung, superando i confini delle immersioni subacquee. Tuttavia, è stato con il suo ruolo da ambientalista che Cousteau ha avuto un forte impatto, mettendo in guardia il mondo sul riscaldamento degli oceani decenni prima che la crisi climatica facesse notizia. Fondamentale il contributo alla protezione dell’Antartide, l’intuizione di Cousteau su ciò che deve essere fatto per il pianeta continua a ispirare generazioni.
"Kon-Tiki" was the name of a wooden raft used by six Scandinavian scientists, led by Thor Heyerdahl, to make a 101-day journey from South America to the Polynesian Islands. The purpose of the expedition was to prove Heyerdal's theory that the Polynesian Islands were populated from the east- specifically Peru- rather than from the west (Asia) as had been the theory for hundreds of years. Heyerdahl made a study of the winds and tides in the Pacific, and by simulating conditions as closely as possible to those he theorized the Peruvians encountered, set out on the voyage.
