What is the difference between a navigator and an explorer?

Navigator

sea

nautical instruments

find new islands or continents

Navigator is somebody who finds the position and plots the course of a ship using maps and instruments.

Explorer

land

use of compass and landmarks

find new places within an already identified island or continent

Explorer is somebody who travels into or through a place in order to learn about it.

Very often navigators are also explorers.

Zheng He, the most famous Chinese navigator, lived from 1371 to 1433 and made seven voyages around the South China Sea, visiting more than thirty countries.The people there gave him a warm welcome. And he not only spread Chinese culture, but also developed many trade links with the other countries.

Marco Polo was the only person to provide information about China to the outside world. His journey around Asia lasted 24 years. He reached further than any of his predecessors, travelling beyond Mongolia and into China. Finally he wrote his adventures down and his book was published and became a best-seller.

James Cook

1728年出生在英国北部的一个村庄。10多岁时他第一次随船出海。他于1775年加入皇家海军，此后成为了一名航海和制图专家。1768年，库克受命担任英国皇家海军太平洋考察队队长。在其后的10年间，他带领考察队进行了3次史诗般的航行，足迹遍及未知的太平洋，揭开了地球上最大水域的地理秘密。

库克访问过塔布担、澳大利亚、新西兰、马克萨斯群岛、夏威夷、复活节岛和威廉王子湾等地，并为这些地方绘制了地图；狂风暴雨、惊涛骇浪、冰山、珊瑚礁、热带酷暑和南极严寒等艰难险阻，不断地向他袭来，直到1779年他惨死在夏威夷岛民手中。在人们的记忆中，库克船长是“水手中的水手”，在探险史上，还没有哪个人可与他的成就相媲美，世界地图将永远带着他的印记。
