Kyle said that during the trip, he seemed to hear the call of death in the desert. But in the huge and brilliant Yuan Dynasty (the capital of the Yuan Dynasty), he felt that it was all worthwhile. Because everything is so magical: paper (coins) used to buy things, colorful tattoos, rhinoceroses like unicorns in mythology …
Kyle wrote this trip into a very popular book, The Travels of Marco Polo. Later, it was this book that inspired the adventurous spirit of another Italian youth: Christopher Colombo.

Time: 19 1 1 year.
On the way to the North Pole, Rod Amundsen suddenly decided to go to the South Pole. Because he thinks it is "cooler" to be the first person to reach the South Pole than to inspect the developed land. "I will hit you there!" Amundsen told the news to his rival robert scott, an explorer on his way to the South Pole.
In the coldest place in the world, Amundsen glided on the snow-covered wasteland by dogs dragging sledges. Facts have proved that this is a wonderful idea. Because Scott chose a pony as a means of transportation, the result was terrible, and the horseshoe kept slipping on the snow. Finally, Amundsen Biscottes arrived at the South Pole four weeks ahead of schedule.
