Pynchonian explorers

On the AtD wiki, I just saw a photo of the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen. Does he make a cameo in AtD or something? I certainly hope so. Like a lot of readers drawn to Pynchon, I share his fascination with explorers, both fictional and actual, and so I don't think it's at all inappropriate to this discussion to ask everyone who their favorite (real-life) explorers are. I'm a Richard Byrd man myself.
