caption_attribution_description: Kazimierz Nowak and Dendrosenecio adnivalis — in the Rwenzori Mountains in Africa. The photo probably taken by Kazimierz Nowak (1897-1937, the author is on the photo; taken probably by a self-timer) during his trip through Africa - a Polish traveller, correspondent and photographer. Probably the first man in the world who crossed Africa alone from the North to the South and from the South to the North (from 1931 to 1936; on foot, by bicycle and canoe).
context_page_description: Exploration is the act of searching for the purpose of discovery of information or resources. Exploration occurs in all non-sessile animal species, including humans. In human history, its most dramatic rise was during the Age of Discovery when European explorers sailed and charted much of the rest of the world for a variety of reasons. Since then, major explorations after the Age of Discovery have occurred for reasons mostly aimed at information discovery.
