The Conquerors of the useless

Today I found at GOOD Magazine a quite cool interactive map showing some of the greatest journeys and adventurers in history. This includes the routes followed by Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, James Cook, Marco Polo, Pizarro and a few others. I thought it would be a nice way to start this blog devoted to the wanderlust, to the well-known and not so famous adventurers in our short world history, and to the ones the famous french climber Lionel Terray once called "les conquérants de l'inutile" (the Conquerors of the useless). I hope you will enjoy this blog.
