The 1947 Kon-Tiki expedition, led by Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl, was a 101-day, 4,300-nautical-mile journey across the Pacific Ocean on a balsa wood raft. Departing from Peru on April 28, 1947, and landing in Polynesia on August 7, 1947, the crew aimed to prove that South Americans could have settled the Polynesian islands in pre-Columbian times. The voyage successfully demonstrated the feasibility of the route, although modern anthropology generally points to an Asian origin for Polynesi
