Many people believe believed throughout history that the beginning of North America’s inhabitance was when Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic Ocean in the year 1492. They believed that he is the person who discovered America where in fact it was the Native Americans who made the initial discovery. Therefore, Columbus’s mission is considered more of a journey. One of the motivators behind the voyage was to move away from Britain and begin a new life in what was to them, land of potential opportunity.

They left from St. Charles, Missouri and began the expedition on May 21, 1804. They were called The Corps of Discovery. It took them two years, four months, and ten days to travel from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean and back home again. This was one of the biggest discoveries that has ever happened.

Christopher Columbus is most widely known for being the first to discover the Americas. He actually wasn’t the first. Many know him as a hero, but he was far from one. Today we will be digging deeper into who Christopher Columbus really was, what his struggles were, and how Columbus’ discovery impacted the decade.

It was hundreds of thousands of years before human life emigrated to North America. North and South America, unlike the rest of the continents, didn’t keep land connections. This made traveling to South and North American basically impossible. Though a couple of advancements made it possible to trek such distance; the humans’ climate adaption and the change in Earth’s climate which connected Asia to North America’s northern coast.

Leif Eriksson and Christopher Columbus were both European explorers who landed in North America. These two men have many similar qualities and as many dissimilar traits. Equally, each explorer made land discoveries, and sailed across the Atlanta Ocean. Christopher Columbus was credited with discovering America, when some say five hundred years earlier it was a young Viking/Norse named Leif Eriksson who landed in North America first (Erkbland, 2015).

While one succeeded and one did not, both of the explorers Scott and Amundsen had relatively the same preparation in their quest to be the first land explorers to reach the South Pole.

For an exemplary leader, what is one of the highest compliments that you could ever receive? Sir Ernest Shackleton was a British explorer who–after failing to reach the Southern Pole first–wanted to be the first to ever accomplish a trans–Antarctic expedition. On October 27th, 1915 Shackleton’s boat–the Endurance–was crushed by the pressure of the melting Antarctic ice; leaving Shackleton and his crew stranded in the Antarctic. On August 30th, 1916 after a treacherous one and a half years of living in the Antarctic and surrounding islands, Shackleton and his crew were rescued following an unimaginable story of survival. The qualities of leadership Shackleton exhibited that resulted in the survival of him and his crew were, having certain

Many people believe Christopher Columbus was the first person to discover America, but Nearly 500 years before the birth of Christopher Columbus, a group European sailors lead by Leif Eriksson left Greenland searching for a new life.
