is
an international multidisciplinary professional society
dedicated to the advancement of field research
and the ideal that it is vital to preserve the instinct
to explore.
Since its inception in 1904, the Club has served as
a meeting point
and unifying force for explorers and scientists worldwide.
Founded in New York City in 1904, The Explorers Club
promotes the
scientific exploration of land, sea, air, and space
by supporting
research and education in the physical, natural and
biological
sciences. The Club's members have been responsible for
an illustrious
series of famous firsts: First to the North Pole, first
to the South
Pole, first to the summit of Mount Everest, first to
the deepest
point in the ocean, first to the surface of the moon—all
accomplished
by our members.
The
Club provides assistance in expedition planning, awards
fieldwork
grants to scientists, writers, and photographers, and
at our famed
annual dinners, honors accomplishments in exploration.
But probably
the most powerful resource available to those who join
the Club is
fellowship with other members--a global network of expertise,
experience, technology, industry, and support.
The
Explorers Club headquarters are located at 46 East 70th
Street in
New York City.
