Because exploration can better develop the earth's resources and contribute to the civilization and progress of society! And it is a challenging activity, full of excitement, which makes people live more meaningfully and proves the value of life! An example is the Antarctic expedition. The Antarctic expedition reactor led by Scott, with the spirit of human exploration of the earth and the hope of the people of the motherland, stepped forward to the South Pole and reached the South Pole. After all the most challenging and exciting difficulties. Their spirit and quality have been sublimated! Yes, they finally failed to overcome the climate and were buried in the frozen Antarctic continent forever! But their spiritual quality has inspired generations of new people. Through their diaries, humans have a deep understanding of the climate in Antarctica. After studying rock samples, human beings understand the geology of Antarctica and realize that there are a lot of natural gas and minerals there. It has made mankind's understanding of Mother Earth a big step forward.

why do some people like exploring?

This is related to a substance called dopamine in the human brain. Dopamine is a substance that can make people happy. When the brain secretes this substance, people will feel happy.

A dangerous state will make people in a state of high vigilance and excitement, and more dopamine will be secreted at this time. Adventure will make people feel happier than usual. This is why so many people explore.

Adventure is an act of conquering nature. But you need to fully understand nature and have the ability to conquer it. Successful exploration can build up strong self-confidence, because exploration is often difficult to do. Exploration can experience the smallness of people personally, thus cherishing life. Exploration is also a kind of exploration, which is the difference between people and animals. If people don't have this spirit, it is impossible to evolve into human beings.

In the long history of mankind, there are six magical explorers, and their exploration actions may have changed the whole world!

Today, these short stories and those terrible experiences are more like a series (some of them have indeed been made into movies or TV): whether in the rough sea or in the dry and hot desert, these six fearless explorers bravely faced everything and finally discovered places on the earth that no one knew before.

If you don't think they're a big deal-someone just fights with a lion and someone swallows a mouse ... then, if you have the courage, go exploring! .....

Pang Si de Leon: Discovery of "Sunshine Country"

Discovery of Florida

Time: 1513 ...

There was a legend that there was a spring called the fountain of youth, and the first person to taste the fountain of youth would get wealth, fame and a chance to be young again. But the problem is that no one knows where the legendary spring is.

Pang Si de Leon, a Spanish explorer, set sail from South America and went all the way to Turkey and San Salvador, but he couldn't find it. Although Pang Si didn't find the fountain of youth, as the first European to set foot on this land and named it "Pascua Florida" (which is what we call Florida today), he did gain wealth and fame.

Marco Polo: Entering China

Achievements of the expedition: One of the earliest Europeans to visit China

Time: It started in 1271

In the Middle Ages, when other friends were still addicted to the game of pinball, Kyle Polo's father and uncle asked him: Do you want to ride with them from Italy to China? Now, let's look at the really incredible thing: this adventurous 17-year-old boy did not hesitate to agree!

Kyle said that during his trip, he seemed to hear the call of death in the desert. However, when he arrived at the huge and splendid Yuan Dynasty (the capital of the Yuan Dynasty), he felt that it was all worthwhile. Because everything is so magical: paper (coins) to buy things, colorful tattoos, rhinoceroses like mythical unicorns ...

Kyle wrote this trip into a very popular book, Travels of Marco Polo. Later, it was this book that aroused the adventurous spirit of another Italian youth: cristoforo colombo.

Ferdinand Magellan: Traveling around the world

Achievements of the expedition: The first voyage around the world

Time: It started in 1519

In Ferdinand Magellan's time, people believed that the earth was round, but no one proved this fact by traveling around the world. Therefore, proving the shape of the earth has become Magellan's unshirkable responsibility.

the terrible storm almost wiped out his fleet. Due to the shortage of food, he and his team members had to feed on the rats on the boat. Three years have passed, and only five ships have successfully reached the finish line. It is these ships that brought back the first warriors who sailed around the world.

David Livingston: "Rushing" into Africa

Achievements of the expedition: The first time I visited Central Africa

Period: from 1841 to 1873

For David Livingston, a Scottish doctor and missionary, crossing the deserts, rainforests and barren hills in Africa meant realizing his own dream. He once fought with a lion and almost lost an arm; He discovered one of the largest waterfalls in the world and named it "Victoria" after the Queen of England.

he lost his sight on the way to find the source of the Nile. Five years later, journalist Henry Stan found Dr. Livingston in front of a small hut and put forward the famous slogan: "Dr. Livingston, I want to do it!" " This slogan inspired countless later explorers.

Robert Peary: Reaching the North Pole

Achievements of the expedition: The earliest time to reach the North Pole

: In 199

Robert Peary, his trusted partner Mather Hansen (another talented explorer) and four other team members went north together. On the way to the North Pole, they eradicated the 15-meter-high ice peak, endured extremely cold weather and encountered endless fog, which seemed to be black smoke from the burning of the entire North American prairie.

When they finally arrived at the North Pole, Piry, dressed in rags, was very excited. He waved the American flag sewn by his wife, and truly felt that he was standing at the top of the world.

Rod Amundsen: Reaching the South Pole

Achievements of the expedition: The earliest time to reach the South Pole

: 1911

On the way to the North Pole, Rod Amundsen suddenly decided to go to the South Pole. Because he thinks it is more "cool" to be the first person to reach the South Pole than to inspect the land that has been developed. "I will beat you there!" Amundsen passed the news to his competitor, robert scott, an explorer on his way to the South Pole.

In the coldest place in the world, Amundsen glides on the snow-covered wasteland with dogs dragging sledges. As it turns out, this is a wonderful idea. Because Scott chose a pony as a means of transportation, the result was terrible, and the horseshoe kept slipping on the snow. Finally, Amundsen Biscottes arrived at the South Pole four weeks earlier.

Christopher Columbus (145l-156) was a famous Spanish navigator and a pioneer of great geographical discoveries. Columbus was a believer in the theory of the earth circle when he was young. He highly praised Marco Polo, who had been a prison in Genoa, and was determined to be a navigator.

He crossed the Atlantic Ocean four times from 1492 to 152 and discovered America, which made him a famous navigator.

Columbus, an Italian, loved sailing adventures since childhood. He has read Travel Notes of Marco Polo, and he really wants to go to India and China. At that time, the theory of the earth circle was very popular, and Columbus believed it. He successively asked the kings of Portugal, Spain, Britain, France and other countries for funding to realize his plan of sailing west to the eastern countries, but all of them were rejected. On the one hand, the theory of "the circle of the earth" is not perfect, so many people don't believe it and regard Columbus as a charlatan. Once, at a special review committee on Columbus plan in Spain, a member asked Columbus: Even if the earth is round, sailing to the west can reach the east and return to the port of departure, then a voyage must climb up from below the earth. How can a sailboat climb up? On this issue, Columbus, who was eloquent and eloquent, was only speechless. On the other hand, at that time, in addition to traditional silk, porcelain and tea, the most important needs of western countries for oriental material wealth were spices and gold. Among them, spices are essential materials for Europeans' daily life and cooking, which are in great demand and are not produced locally. At that time, these commodities were mainly transported by traditional sea and land combined transport routes. The vested interests in these commodities also strongly opposed Columbus's plan to open up new air routes. Columbus lobbied around for more than ten years to realize his plan. It was not until 1492 that the Queen of Spain had an eye for heroes. She persuaded the king and even gave her own private money to help Columbus, so that Columbus's plan could be implemented.

on August 3rd, 1492, Columbus was sent by the king of Spain, with credentials for the Indian monarch and emperor China, and led three sailing ships of over 1 tons to sail out of the Atlantic Ocean from Barros, Spain, and headed west. After 7 days and nights of hard sailing, land was finally discovered in the early morning of October 12, 1492. Columbus thought he had arrived in India. Later, I learned that the land that Columbus boarded belonged to the Bahamas in the Balebi Sea in Central America, and he named it San Salvador at that time.

On March 15th, 1493, Columbus returned to Spain. After that, he repeated his voyage to the west three times and landed on many coasts of America. Until his death in 156, he always thought that he had arrived in India. Later, an Italian scholar named Amerigo, after more investigations, realized that these places Columbus arrived in were not India, but a new continent that was unknown before. Columbus discovered the new continent. However, this continent was named after the person who proved that it was a new continent: America.

Later, there were various whispers about who first discovered America. The conclusion that Columbus discovered the New World is beyond doubt. This is because at that time, people in Europe and even the whole old continent of Asia and Africa really didn't know there was this continent on the other side of the Atlantic. As for who arrived in America first, it is another question, because the native Americans themselves migrated from Asia in ancient times. It is also very possible that China and Oceania sailed to America, but none of this can change the fact that Columbus discovered the new continent.

Columbus's voyage was the beginning of the era of great navigation. The opening of new air routes has changed the course of world history. It shifted the route of overseas trade from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic coast. Since then, the west has finally stepped out of the darkness of the Middle Ages and started to rise in the world with an irresistible trend, and in the following centuries, it has achieved maritime hegemony. A brand-new industrial civilization has become the mainstream of world economic development.

the meaning of exploration can refer to the meaning of field trip

1. Life lies in sports

Life lies in sports, and sports make people evergreen, which is a well-known truth. In particular, the "work bugs" who have lived in cities for a long time (the names for some people who can only work but not relax) and the white-collar workers who have been engaged in mental work for a long time are more meaningful. Everyone agrees with the health-care function of some routine sports activities, such as playing basketball, table tennis, running and swimming, etc., and traveling and hiking in Shan Ye during holidays can also play a fitness role. The former is less limited by time and space, but its activities are relatively simple; The latter has certain requirements and conditions for time and funds, but its benefits are incomparable to the former. Of course, actively carrying out various forms of sports is worth vigorously promoting. Field trip is a kind of cultural and sports activity in a comprehensive sense, which shows that we must physically carry our feet, climb mountains and do all kinds of chores that we seldom do. Cultural activities are more abundant. It can be said that sports activities are carriers, while cultural activities are content in a higher sense.

2. Return to Nature

With the high modernization of urban life, people are farther away from nature, and everything they come into contact with in life is man-made objects. People live in concrete jungle instead of forest, and the smell of man-made radio waves, electroacoustic, electro-optic and man-made objects is everywhere. What is more serious is the by-product of human civilization-the serious pollution of industry and life. Man's body is a natural thing, but man lives in an unnatural environment. It has long been verified that long-term contact with nature has an impact on human health. Therefore, returning to nature has become a widely rising trend in the world in recent years. Go to nature and feel the natural magnetic field, natural beautiful voice, fresh air, clean water, warm sunshine and gentle moonlight. Only when we often go to nature can we live like a son of nature, not a robot.

3. broaden one's knowledge

when traveling, one must leave one's familiar environment, and those who are willing or unwilling to contact new things and environments, which enriches our life experience and increases our knowledge. Some insights may be seen in books, movies and TV shows, but you will always have a superficial understanding without taking action yourself. The ancients said, "Read thousands of books and follow Wan Li Road", and "Never know this matter, but practice it" is the truth. And there is a lot of knowledge and experience that can't be obtained and learned from books. Isn't it a wonderful thing that we have increased our knowledge and enriched our life experiences during our travels? Only when we have a rich life can we not waste our lives and have "materials" to brag about to our younger generations. You can't know that fungus is born from rotten wood until you reach the white head.

4. Relax physically and mentally

In our modern life, driven by survival and development, people are always busy for their livelihood, and the fast-paced and efficient modern life makes people's nerves and lives highly nervous. Living like this for a long time, people's eyes become shallow, their psychological abnormalities develop, and their bodies are prone to various modern urban syndromes, and their health conditions are getting worse. People long for a complete physical and mental relaxation and a healthy mental state. Although there are many similar industries in the city that serve this purpose, such as sauna, various massages and some recreational activities, they are mostly superficial and temporary relaxation, treating the exterior but not the interior. The best way to really relax physically and mentally and adjust psychologically is to go back to the nature, stand on the top of the mountain and look at the world. "colorful clouds lave? my bosom free and easy, all the mountains are small." That kind of feeling should be extensive, and the world disputes, fame and fortune, honor and disgrace gains and losses in the world will become weak, and we will realize what is "nothing", what is "doing nothing" and what we will experience. When you return to the city, you will smile more and worry less. Of course, we should actively adjust ourselves, know ourselves, and transform ourselves, and draw new ideas and new energy from nature, and put ourselves into the more meaningful pace of the times and life.

5. Make friends

When traveling, it has its unique significance to travel alone and explore the past, but it is more meaningful to travel with some like-minded friends. Most of the partners are not colleagues and classmates who live together day and night, but come from different units.
