The spirit of exploration in 'Thor Heyerdahl: Voyages of the Sun'

“We could almost feel … suspended in space; all our world was empty and blue; there was no fixed point … but the tropical sun … golden and warm.” So wrote Norwegian archaeologist, anthropologist, migration theorist, author and explorer Thor Heyerdahl, whose 1947 journey across the Pacific Ocean from South America to Polynesia in a balsa-wood raft is documented and explored in Atelier Éditions’ deeply researched new release, Thor Heyerdahl: Voyages of the Sun. Drawn from the archives of the Kon-Tiki Museum, this beautifully designed and considered volume brings together correspondence, expedition logbooks, journals, photographs and other previously unseen documents.
