Join the Famous Firsts

For more than a century, members of The Explorers Club have traversed the Earth, the seas, the skies, and even the Moon – expeditions that pushed boundaries and helped define scientific achievement. Our members were first to the North Pole, South Pole, summit of Mount Everest, the deepest point in the ocean, and to the surface of the Moon. These events have changed the course of history and become iconic examples of ingenuity, perseverance, and bravery. They also became our Famous Firsts. While we celebrate these five extraordinary moments in history, we also focused on the future.
