3. Why do we seek adventure
Adventures are often undertaken in order to achieve
a greater goal such as the pursuit of knowledge that
can only be obtained in a risky manner. Professor
Marvin Zuckerman says that adventures have a
strong biological and genetic basis, which implies
that it is hard-wired in our brains to promote survival.
For some people, adventure becomes a major pursuit
in and of itself. According to adventurer André
Malraux, in his La Condition Humaine, "If a man is not
ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?". Similarly,
Helen Keller stated that "Life is either a daring
adventure or nothing."

4. Mostly travelling was difficult and
expensive, both due to danger of
violence, as well as the scarcity of
roads, and the variability of travel
times over water, as ancient ships were
subject to the vagaries of both the wind
and the tides. .” In many other places
there was armed conflict between the
aborigines and the explorers.

Greek vision of the world by
Posidonius in the 2nd century BC.
Such inaccurate maps hindered
early explorations. The picture
given below is a map followed by
Alexander during his tenure as king.
ANCIENT JOURNEYS : CHALLENGES AND JOYS
In spite of not having adequate
instruments and maps, the
simple joy of discovering a
new land spurred the early
explorers to undertake long and
arduous journeys. Maps,
mariners compasses,
astrolabes, and calipers were
among the early tools used by
ocean navigators.
