description Thor Heyerdahl Overview
Thor Heyerdahl was a Norwegian explorer, archaeologist, and writer known for testing theories about ancient seafaring and migration. In 1947, he crossed the Pacific Ocean from South America to Polynesia on the Kon-Tiki, a raft constructed from balsa wood and other traditional materials. The expedition demonstrated that such a voyage was technically possible, although it did not by itself prove the settlement history of Polynesia.
