Description

Exploration has never been more popular, and any idea that there is nowhere left to explore is instantly disproved by the contemporary explorers who are showcased here. Most of the accounts are written by the explorers themselves, and they all vividly describe challenging and extraordinary expeditions to some of the remotest parts of the world, in extremes of temperature and aridity, often alone and on the edge of danger.

Some of these explorers are very experienced and are already celebrated worldwide, while others are young, less well known, and just starting to make their mark; all are driven by ambition, aspiration, and passion.

The Modern Explorers features 25 illustrations.
