The weeks-long expeditions will whisk travelers to the world’s most remote parts, including the Northwest Passage, Papua New Guinea, and the icy depths of Antarctica. These journeys are enriched by the participation of expert members of The Explorers Club. Depending on the destinations, you will be able to, for example, meet a research biologist specialised in manatee conservation in Belize, follow a bio-acoustician listening to the evolution of biodiversity in the world, talk to a storm chaser who presents television shows about natural catastrophes related to climate change, discover a director working with the Inuit people or observe the equipment of a polar expedition leader/cave explorer.
