CUETZALAN, Mexico (CNN) British Royal Navy divers on Thursday led to safety all six explorers trapped in a warren of caves in eastern Mexico. Over several hours, the men swam out of the cave one at a time. They had been trapped in the flooded cave for a week. Each emerged in apparent good health and spirits, officials said. The men were to be taken to a nearby military hospital to be checked out. They are also to be interviewed by immigration officials because they entered on tourist visas and didn't notify the Mexican government about their expedition, officials said. A source with the British embassy said the entire expedition group is to fly back to London on Friday. Among the cavers were four members of the British navy.

Spanish Explorers: In Search Of ? A WebQuest for 5th Grade Question l Background Information l Tasks l Resources l Activities l Assessment Question Why did the Spanish explorers risk their lives to explore new lands? Background Information The age of exploration was driven by a combination of many forces. European countries had a variety of political, religious, and economic reasons to explore new lands. Individual explorers often shared some of the same motives as the nations they represented but often they had their own reasons for exploring. The Spanish conquistadors were one group of explorers who sailed for Spain. They explored the Americas during the first half of the 1500's. It was during this time that the Spanish dominated the settlement of the Americas. Task Imagine you are a conquistador on a ship sailing to the New World during the 16th century. You have decided to tell the members of your crew all about your hopes and dreams for the upcoming seafaring adventure. You must choose one of the explorers in the table below to research. Your expert knowledge of one of these daring men will uncover the answer to our question.

Contact Us Help Text Only HOME ... INDEX White Explorers European explorers shared some of the reasons for travelling round Africa with Muslim fellow travelers, but had others peculiar to the time. They went in search of: fame and celebrity, and people to convert to Christianity POWER AND KNOWLEDGE European travelers hugely increased a general understanding of geography, climate and resources. Some accounts of the people were objective (as far as an outsider can be objective), others were willfully misleading. All the information these travelers brought back - wrong and right - contributed to devising an imperial strategy for controlling Africa. SOURCES OF RIVERS For Europeans the golden age of travelling was the early 19th century. The first half of the century was dominated by a desire to establish the sources of two of African's great trading arteries, the Niger and the Nile respectively. The sort of men who undertook journeys across regions which were unknown to Europe were in the main strong willed, eccentric, sometimes cruel and prejudiced.
