RIP Thor Heyerdal - "Who?"

RIP Thor Heyerdal - "Who?"

Thor Heyderdahl was a Norwegian scientist who proved his theory - that South Americans crossed the Pacific on balsa-log rafts - by crossing the Pacific on a balsa-log raft. The story of the trip, Kon Tiki, was, along with Endurance (the suddenly-hip story of Ernest Shackelton's escape from the Antarctic) one of the more inspiring stories of my childhood.

He was 87. And will be sorely missed.
