Biologist Thor Heyerdahl suspecting that the South Sea Islands had been settled by a race from thousands of miles east decided to prove his theory. His expedition was hailed as one of the most fantastic feats of daring of its time. In 1947, Heyerdahl and his crew embarked from Peru on a balsa wood raft built according to the traditions of South America's pre-Columbian Indians. After 101 days on the open sea amid raging storms, whales, and sharks, they landed on the Polynesian island Raroia. Heyerdahl's book Kon-Tiki sold over 20 million copies in 67 languages. Heyerdahl was given a cine camera before the journey began, and his film subsequently enthralled cinema-goers all over the world.
