The first episode of The 2022 Explorers 50 Speaker Series, supported by Rolex, kicks-off on Wednesday, October 12th at 7pm with “Visionaries”. This episode brings together experts from around the world and from various disciplines who have explored some of our world’s harshest climates, from icey tundras to frozen seas and field sites without sun. The panel discussion will be moderated by EC 50 Chair Joe Rohde and contemplate the very reason why explorers go to the extremes that they so often do. Tune in to learn about the ways these explorers are inspiring the world to care about far-off places.
This event is entirely virtual. Streaming live here on explorers.org, our YouTube Channel, and our Facebook Live — Wednesday, October 12th at 7:00 pm ET.
