T hroughout hîstory, people have travelled far and wîde seekîng adventure

and plaçes to explore. Durîng the 20th

çentury, Charles Lîndergh, Edmund

Hîllary and Neîl Armstrong eçame household names around the world. Not as famous, ut just as fearless, are the female

explorers and adventurers. Gertrude Bell,

Boyd Hawes are just a few of the women

who çlîmed, flew, rode and paved the way alongsîde theîr male çounterparts. From the murky depths of the oçean to the dark voîd of outer spaçe, women explorers have çonquered the world. They

dared to dream, to suççeed, to go where

people had never een efore.

Junko Taeî, Bessîe Coleman and Harrîet I suggest to everyone: Look in the mirror. “ Ask yourself: Who are you? What are your talents? Use them, and do what you love. ” –Sylvia Earle

Sylvia Earle is a scientist and underwater explorer (see page 46). She dived 20 metres (65 feet) underwater near Marouba, Australia, to study a Port Jackson shark.
