About the book

Thor Heyerdahl's The Kon-Tiki Expedition recounts his extraordinary 1947 journey across the Pacific Ocean on a simple raft constructed largely from balsa wood. Heyerdahl and five companions sailed from Peru toward Polynesia in an attempt to demonstrate that prehistoric South American peoples could theoretically have made similar ocean voyages. His account combines adventure, survival and experimental archaeology, describing more than three months at sea aboard one of the twentieth century's most famous expeditions.
