Sir Ranulph Fiennes stands out on this list of great explorers (and deserves his place on it) for a whole host of reasons. These guys would have found their way across entire oceans using only the sun, wind direction, colours in the sea, movement of the waves, and the presence of birds. It’s said that they could even smell the land when it was close by! Magellan was an ambitious, educated, battle-hardened, sea-faring man with the blood of Portuguese nobility in his veins.

Each and every single one of those words has been applied, at one point in time or another, to the next famous explorer on this list: Jen take comfort in the fact that your smile was in my thoughts as I fell into my eternal slumber, destined to dream of you forever.

Time and again, their incredible feats of exploration were a precursor to (or part of) one atrocity or another. Pictures of him in his heyday reveal Peary as a proud, burly, tough, bear of a man…with an outstanding moustache.

Sadly, by 1502, when he was ready to set sail for India once again, the Portuguese king had become intent on controlling the region and asked da Gama to do the dirty work. His jaw-dropping journey to come would lead to the very first single-voyage circumnavigation of the globe (though Magellan himself would die before it was completed). As much as anything else, though, Burton was an explorer who risked his life (and very nearly ended it) countless times. Here are a few particular near-death experiences of note: Gerald Gough: "One man against many. One single wagon got through and even the six that started were so few, so small a force, but Misok Bedrozian had the most powerful force in the world, a belief, the miracle of an idea and the conviction to carry it out against whatever odds. In our country, one man can stand up for his rights and start a chain reaction. Maybe at the beginning he acts just for himself, but often one man's problem becomes everyone's concern. Misok Bedrozian's victory turned out to be not just his, but his whole state's. He learned the lesson of faith in one's convictions. Justice which we prize is not just learned, it is earned and earning it can be The Great Adventure." He went west to find Asia when nobody else of his era had tried, paved the way for future exploration across the Atlantic, and had his fair share of close encounters over 4 great journeys to North and South America.

Here, on Homonhom Island, in March 1521, having lost 120 men (out of 270), Magellan befriended the king and ended up fighting in his war.

NARRATED BY Van Heflin: "The year nineteen-o-seven is a good one for the farmers of the Great California Valley. Most of them are immigrants from Italy, Greece and Turkey. For these new Americans this year brings a bumper crop and a rich harvest. Now, with the hard work over, it is time to celebrate."

Yet, over the course of his illustrious life, he went onto win favour with Queen Elizabeth I, become the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe, earn a reputation as a fearsome pirate (with the royal seal of approval), and help win an era-shifting battle against the mighty Spanish Armada. Now there are four. They pass through parched country covered with sun-scorched grass, then along slopes of manzanita and mesquite which rose toward the Gabilan Mountains and the dangers of Pacheco Pass." In 1978, the band were still working with their influences, mainly Prog and AOR, weighing them up, trying them out. Looking for best fit. Titusville — northwest corner of Pennsylvania — population... one hundred and twenty-five. One general store... one livery stable... one hotel... and the bubbling spring."

Gerald Gough: "During his twenty-five years at the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania, Richard Pratt taught five thousand students representing more than seventy Indian tribes. From Carlisle came famous people, such as Jim Thorpe. Thorpe is regarded by many as the greatest athlete of all time. Hundreds of less famous but equally important young men and women return to their tribes from Carlisle to help their people. Although its football team played and beat the greatest colleges in America, Carlisle was really not a college — it was a training school. It granted no degrees. When it closed its doors in nineteen-eighteen, it left a job only partly done... a job that still remains to be completed. But the work of Richard Pratt was the start of a Great Adventure."

De`van Szostek says 'Feeling that things were getting out of hand, these fourteen came to me and asked that I help them by telling them everything we had found out about the continent thus far. Seeing the light of determination in their eyes, I decided to reveal confidential information to them. I figured they would just leave things to us once they knew how serious the situation was, but knowledge of how dire things could become just fueled the spirit of honor within all of them. I told them that it would be brought under control by the brotherhood, but they refused to listen. They decided that the only solution was to destroy the leader of this invading force . . .

It fights to be heard above the din of shrill, Sweet like harmonies and Proggy keyboards, eventually finding safe and solid ground in the semi orchestral middle section, which in itself pointed the way ahead.
