With a foreword by Sir Ranulph Fiennes, undoubtedly one of the greatest living explorers, and an introduction from Michael Palin, President of the RGS, Explorers features the personal stories and first hand accounts of the people whose courage opened frontiers, turned voids into maps, connected cultures and added to humankind?s knowledge of the world.

Featuring exclusive, never-before-seen photography from the RGS archive, rare maps and specially-commissioned artworks, Explorers will appeal to all those who love the thrill of travel and exploration and want to experience the triumphs and tragedies of real-life adventure.
