Pynchonian explorers

[Scott Badger]

Roald Amundsen

Dr Frederick Cook 

But, perhaps, most of all, Apsley Cherry-Garrard for his 5 week sledging trip through the antarctic night to gather penguin eggs...should be a Pynchon shoe-in on name alone...

  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.
