Sir Rannulph Fiennes

Brilliant bloke, done some amazing things etc, but he does puzzle me. On the telly just now and he does 4 hour runs every other day and he is 70 years old. FFS - that's just incredible,

 

But I have a question - he's always descibed as an explorer but I always think of explorers as peopel who do stuff for scientific and/opr geographic research. As far as I know hee just is someone who is well off enough to have a fantastic life doing astonishing extreme & endurance journies. Is that a proper explorer or just a great adventurer?

 

There's probably interweb stuff that answers the question but I can't be bothered looking it up at the moment.
