accomplish something famous.

Here they are:

Amelia Earhart, first woman to make a solo Trans-Atlantic flight
Roald Amundsen, first to visit both the South and North Poles
Clara Washington Burrill, first woman to be editor of the Boston Review
Leif Erikkson, first European to land in North America

Alexandra David-N˙el, first European woman to visit Tibet
Harold Melville Clark, first person to deliver mail between Hawaiian Islands
Neil Armstrong, first man on the moon
Sir Edmund Hillary, first person to reach the top of Mt. Everest
Bert Hinkler, first person to fly solo from England to Australia

I am:
