Join legendary explorer Erling Kagge for a deep dive into the stories, both personal and historical, of polar exploration. Kagge will take attendees through his own adventures in the polar regions and beyond, as well as share reflections on the nature of exploration at large.
Erling Kagge takes us on a journey through the history of wild imaginings, broken hearts, and life dreams achieved at 70 degrees below zero. Kagge was the first in history to reach the North Pole, South Pole and summit of Everest on foot, and he reveals what he learned in the shifting ice about what drives the polar explorer, from the earliest historical records to now.
This in-person event at the Explorers Club Headquarters will include an audience Q&A.
Streaming live here on explorers.org, our YouTube Channel, and our Facebook Live — Monday, April 7th at 7:00 pm ET.
