Explorers like David Livingstone, Henry Stanley and Roald Amundsen were pioneers in the field of exploration and adventure. They travelled all around the globe in order to reach the far ends of the planet.
David Livingstone was a Scottish explorer, sponsored by the London Missionary and Church (LMC), and was responsible for tracing the origins of the river Nile. He went missing for a period of almost 3 years during his travels in Africa that led to his famous encounter with Henry Stanley.
Henry Morton Stanley was an American journalist who was sponsored by his newspaper agency to find the whereabouts of David Livingstone. He travelled through Africa till his chance encounter with the legendary explorer.
Roald Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer backed by private sponsors. He was the first man to lead an expedition to successfully reach the South Pole and beat the British explorer F. Scott by a small margin
Livingstone was sponsored by the British government while Stanley was sponsored by The New York Herald.
