Kon-Tiki: Across the Pacific by Raft

Thor Heyerdahl's 'Kon-Tiki' chronicles the author's daring voyage on a balsa wood raft from Peru to the Polynesian islands. Heyerdahl and his small team embarked on this epic 101-day journey to demonstrate the possibility of pre-Columbian transoceanic contact. Despite numerous challenges, the crew successfully navigated the Pacific, relying on the stars and ocean currents, and arrived at their destination, providing compelling arguments for Heyerdahl's theories on Polynesian settlement.
