The Kon-Tiki expedition caught the imagination of a world enduring post-war austerity; the book of the expedition was a bestseller which sold 20 million copies in 67 languages, and the film of the 101-day voyage won Heyerdahl an Oscar in 1951 for best documentary.

Comments

  • Thor Heyerdal's raft proved one aspect of peopling of the earth.
  • The map in the selection of images is of the path of the RA, a reed ship and not the Kon-tiki
