Name a polar explorer
Our answer book holds 65 answers to “Name a polar explorer”, from the first thing anyone would say to names almost nobody would think of. Roald Amundsen, Ernest Shackleton and Robert Falcon Scott are what most people type first, so they score the least. It is a fairly short list: only 16 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
Your own interests are a good place to look: the odd thing you still remember is often rarer than you would guess. You will find it in stage 18, “Edge of the Map”, of the History mission. The first stages of every mission are free, and later stages come with the full mission.
