neutral  Agneta Pallinder: only problem that then you have nothing left for äventyrslysten and you miss the "exploration" aspect of upptäcktslysten.

  -> mmm ... I know what you mean, but how about äventyrare = explorers
agree  Martin Asplund: I would disagree with Agneta and agree with Diarmuid. Adventurous is by the nearest dictionary at hand defined as "willing to take risks or to try out new methods, ideas, or experiences", which pretty much hits the spot for "upptäcktslystna".
