One of the least common occupations for explorers to North America was botanist. Botanists were not as prevalent as navigators, cartographers, or soldiers during the Age of Exploration. Their focus on studying plant species and ecosystems made their role less prominent in expeditions.
Early explorers hoped to find resources such as gold, silver, furs, timber, and new trade routes in North America. They also sought to establish colonies for their home countries to expand their influence and wealth.
Both Pánfilo de Narváez and Francisco Coronado were Spanish explorers who led expeditions to North America during the Age of Exploration. They both sought to find wealth and glory in the New World, but ultimately failed to achieve their goals.
Tudor explorers from Britain discovered lands such as North America, including present-day Canada and the United States, as well as parts of South America, the Caribbean, and Africa. Some notable explorers from this period include John Cabot and Sir Francis Drake.
Some famous explorers from Scandinavia include Leif Eriksson, who is believed to have been the first European to reach North America around the year 1000, and Roald Amundsen, who led the first successful expedition to the South Pole in 1911.
There were several Spanish explorers who investigated North American legends, including Juan Ponce de León, Hernando de Soto, Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, and Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca. They were searching for legendary lands such as the Fountain of Youth and the seven cities of Cibola. While they did not find these legends, their explorations contributed to the European understanding of North America.
