What Is an Explorer?

An explorer is someone who travels to new places. They look at mountains, oceans, and forests that many people have never seen. Explorers love to learn about the world.

Famous Explorers

• Marco Polo sailed far away to a place called China. He told stories about the people and food he saw.
• Christopher Columbus rode on a big ship and found a new land across the ocean.
• Lewis And Clark walked across a huge country called America. They drew maps of rivers and mountains.

These brave people helped us understand our planet.

How You Can Explore

You don’t need a big ship. You can explore your backyard, a park, or a museum. Look closely at bugs, rocks, and trees. Ask questions like “What is this?” and “Where does it live?” Every little discovery is an adventure!
