Exploring the unknown

Some ways in which people have explored the unknown are louis and clark, when they we sent to discover what was west of american civilization. Also columbus set sail across the atlantic to explore americe, even though  he thought he was in India at the time. All explorers who set off on their adventures all shared on common trait, courage. To devote your life to such hardship you must have courage, because you will never know what could happen. Colunbus could have easily have crashed all of his boats and died in the atlantic, he knew this but he continued on because he wanted to explore the new world. If he had never decided to sail to america, who knows what mught have happened. Maybe america would have been found some 200 years later, and the native americans defeat the armada that opposes them. All in all these individuals devoted their lives to exploration because they know something amazing could spark from it. Even though they may leave their families and friends, they feel like the journey they will experience is more important. Without all of these brave people history could have never been made and life today could be completely different.
