Explorers A to Z Volume 2 is a free download that looks at the lesser-known explorers. It skips over Columbus and da Gama and looks instead at Marie Joseph Garnier, Sven Hedin, and others that are sometimes forgotten. 

Explorers A to Z Volume 2 Garnier to Le Maire


What would you say if I asked you which Swedish explorer traveled through Tibet? Or what if I asked you who first put Drake Passage to good use (it wasn’t Drake)? 

Who are the Explorers?

In this printable, you’ll learn about six of explorers. Every few weeks, we’ll discover a few more until we’ve worked our way from A to Z. There are a few questions to get you thinking and some space to record your answers.

  • Marie Joseph Garnier
  • Sven Hedin
  • Alejandro Malaspina
  • Matthew C. Perry
  • Kublai Khan
  • Jakob Le Maire

There are also some notebooking pages at the end of the printable to write down other things you learn about the explorers and their destinations. One page is blank; the other four are themed so you can give each explorer a sheet that is related to the types of places he visited, if you’d like.

So grab a compass, a map, and maybe an encyclopedia. And get ready to rediscover the history of explorers.
