Explorers Quiz

Explorers Quiz brings you stories of courage, curiosity, and remarkable journeys across the world. One of the lesser-known facts about world explorers is that Alexander von Humboldt, a Prussian naturalist and explorer, once climbed an active volcano in Ecuador, Mount Chimborazo, in 1802. Although not the highest mountain on Earth, it’s the farthest point from the Earth’s centre due to the planet’s shape. At the time, no one had climbed that high. His notes on plant geography and altitude even inspired Charles Darwin. Exploration quiz questions often skip such fascinating moments. This quiz dives into the age of sails, deserts, mountains, and strange maps. If you love facts that feel like hidden treasures, this is your chance to uncover a few.
