p. 97 · Read in the full issue
THOR HEYERDAHL, leader of the famous Kon Tiki expedi tion, was leading an expedi tion to the Galapagos Islands in January.
The party arrived at San Cristo bal Island on January 22 and con tinued on to Floreana Island the following day.
The expedition is “trying to find material to support the theory that the first inhabitants of the Gala pagos came from the American Continent instead of from Spain as some history books maintain.”
It is believed that the expedition will later go on to Easter Island.
