Why do you think people undertake such adventurous expeditions in spite of the risks involved?
It takes all sorts of people to make this world. Some like a peaceful and quiet life. Others love adventures. They don’t hesitate even to undertake dangerous expeditions. Such things are risky. But still people go on without caring for even death and disasters. They seem to be crazy. Perhaps they are. There is something in them which doesn’t allow them to sit and relax. For them life is a continuous journey. They prefer untrodden paths. The history of mankind shows that all our progress owes to such brave and fearless people. What about the discovery of America? Had Columbus not undertaken his historic voyage, perhaps America would have never been found. It would ever have been hidden from the eyes of the civilized world.
Perhaps it is in the blood of man to crave for adventures. Man wants to go beyond the known. He wants to explore the unknown. All the explorers, navigators and mountaineers have an undying urge to transcend their limitations. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing climbed the highest peak in the world—The Mount Everest. Francis Drake, Walter Releigh, Vasco-da-Gama, Marco Polo, Captain Cook showed to humanity that nothing is impossible. Man’s will and determination conquers all odds and hazards.
