EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl (1914-2002) and his beloved wife Jacqueline, basking in the warm sun of their home in Tenerife, Canary Islands, in 1995. The 90s were a period of relaxation and reflection for the intrepid adventurer, who had recently retired from his groundbreaking expeditions. Heyerdahl's most famous voyage was the Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947, where he sailed a balsa wood raft from South America to the Polynesian islands, proving that ancient peoples could have reached the Pacific via the Eastern route. His subsequent expeditions, including the Ra II expedition in 1970 and the Fatu Hiva expedition in 1937, further cemented his reputation as a fearless explorer and champion of ancient civilizations. Despite his many accomplishments, Heyerdahl remained humble and grounded, as evidenced by this image of him at home with his wife. The lush greenery and serene surroundings of Tenerife provided the perfect backdrop for the couple's peaceful retirement. However, even in his later years, Heyerdahl continued to be an advocate for environmental causes and the preservation of Earth's natural wonders. This photograph is a poignant reminder of Thor Heyerdahl's remarkable life and enduring legacy. The image of the explorer and his wife, bathed in the golden light of the Canary Islands, encapsulates the spirit of adventure, discovery, and the deep connection between man and nature that defined Heyerdahl's career.
