OCEAN. CLIMATE. MANKIND.
Exploration is our DNA
Ocean exploration lies at the heart of human progress. The greatest single achievement in human history was when early humans harnessed nature by evolving technologies to make planned sea voyages. Stone tools found on islands never connected to any mainland prove we have been voyaging for at least 850,000 years, possibly one million. Exploration sailing is part of human DNA.
