My two explorers are Marco Polo and Ponce De Leon. Marco Polo was one of the most famous westerner travelers. He traveled across Asia. He sailed south from Venice, Italy in the Mediterranean Sea. He also explored an area south of capital of Red China and the coast of china which is now Vietnam. Ponce de Leon sailed for Florida in the Americas. The priming why Marco Polo did his exploration was to find solely kinds of different goods to trade.He did this because he was learning about trading goods. He was able to find perfumes, jewels, porcelain, and silk garments. He make lots of money while he stayed in Khans court. Pone de Leons rea parole for his expedition was because he was hurt by the kings action for making Columbus son governor so he sailed off. Also he reason was to find new lands and treasures. Another topic was the Fountain of Youth, which was a mythical spring that the Indians spoke of.The Fountain of Youth was believed to make older community young again. Some of Ma rcos hardships came when he was traveling to the Gobi Desert. It was hard without camels and was very hot. It was also hard not having food or water. Some times Marco felt like he was in a reverie because he would hear frightening sounds, he would see ghost figures of his friends, and was having weird illusions. Some of Ponce de Leons hardships that he faced where he was ambushed by the Calusa Tribe.He was ambushed by them on his way back to Florida to start a farming colony.
