Yet his calm demeanor and unshakable belief in logic allowed him to overcome even the most daunting obstacles. This expedition transformed Fogg from a man of routine into a celebrated adventurer whose exploits inspired countless imitators.   In his later years, Fogg continued to apply his logistical genius to various endeavors, quietly aiding philanthropic causes and scientific exploration.
