this picture was from www.whalingcity.net What i learned about exploring was that they really did not know were they were  going they were just going no were not knowing what was ahead so these explorers that found america must be really brave and they probably needed a lot of confidence . so these dudes must have been really smart in navigating and finding stuff most these explorers were just looking for gold because most of these expeditions were really expensive so keep in mind that without these people we probably would not have a country. I dont think I would ever explore. There is a ton of stuff that we have not explored and in the future we might not even had everything explored
