Kon-Tiki 2 safely home
The Expedition consists of two balsa rafts that left Lima in Peru on Nov 7th, 2015, and arrived on Easter Island just before Christmas. On Jan 6th, 2016, the rafts started the demanding return voyage. During the expedition, Kon-Tiki2 has done important scientific research on climate change, marine life, plastics, and pollution in the Pacific.
After 114 days at sea, in one of the strongest El Niño years recorded, the Kon-Tiki 2 decided to end the expedition in the South Pacific. Large sets of unique data on climate change and pollution will now be analyzed.
