Thompson travelled over 128, 747 km, a staggering number that was ten times higher than the miles travelled by Lewis & Clark. Throughout that astonishingly long journey, Thompson would’ve hiked many hills, mountains, rivers, etc. Thompson also faced the obstacles of extreme heat, extreme cold, snow, rain, etc. “Going over one set of falls, Thompson and his men lost their canoes and almost all their gear. They were near starvation when they limped into a Native encampment a week later.” This was not the only major hardship David Thompson faced during his career as an explorer. “He survived numerous accidents, a near fatal case of malaria, debilitating cholera, blindness in one eye, and rheumatism in his leg.” This proves just how mentally and physically tough David Thompson really was.

Without his mental and physical toughness, David Thompson would not have been able to succeed in his achievements as a legendary explorer.…
