Founded in New York City in 1904, by a group of leading explorers, The Explorers Club is a multidisciplinary, professional society dedicated to the advancement of field research, scientific exploration and resource conservation.
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.
Iconic figures such as Theodore Roosevelt, Edmund Hillary and Neil Armstrong were part of the organization, as well as Jane Goodall, Robert Ballard, Sylvia Earle, among many others.
