A seascape depicting Thor Heyerdahl's raft Kon Tiki approaching the Raroia atoll in Polynesia, where they smashed into a reef, but made successful landfall and returned safely.
Thor Heyerdahl, the famous Norwegian explorer, was from my hometown Larvik. In 1947, he sailed out from Peru, across the Pacific Ocean, with his small crew of five, and the parrot Lorita.
Heyerdahl believed that people from South America could have settled in Polynesia in pre-Columbian times. His aim in mounting the Kon-Tiki expedition was to show, by using only the materials and technologies available to those people at the time, that there were no technical reasons to prevent them from having done so.
The raft Kon Tiki was built of balsa tree trunk lashed together with hemp ropes, in a style as recorded in illustrations by Spanish conquistadores.
The raft was restored, and brought to Norway. The Kon Tiki Museum in Oslo is today a major tourist attraction.
