Feel free to add profiles that are not listed yet.

This project of famous adventurers includes photos, bios, and other information, when available. Who are the top adventurers in the world? This includes the most prominent adventurers, living and dead. The people on this list are from different countries, but what they all have in common is that they're all renowned adventurers.

Even though many of the following famous adventurers finished their journeys a long time ago, and most have long since moved on from this world, we can learn and be inspired by what they accomplished.

Some of the people impacted the travel world around 100 years ago, and even though a century is a long time ago, it’s still possible to try to relate to their situations. But it’s difficult to fathom what it was like for an explorer like Ferdinand Magellan, who explored the world nearv ly 500 years ago, back when much of the world as we know it today was still untouched.
