The Arctic & Antarctica

Even since humans began exploring, the polar regions have been the most alluring of destinations, providing a host of adventurers with challenges and rewards found nowhere else on the planet. The poles remain the earth's last true frontiers, where modern explorers meet a magnetic combination of towering glaciers, austere mountains and abundant wildlife. The Explorers' Corner collection of Arctic and Antarctic kayaking and Arctic hiking and trekking expeditions allow select groups of intrepid individuals to experience the same natural wonders their great predecessors did. Kayaking and hiking in Baffin Island, Greenland and, amazingly, sea kayaking the Antarctic Peninsula, are among the peerless adventures offered by Explorers' Corner in our planet's polar regions.
