Explore offers first-hand accounts from the world's boldest explorers, men and women encountering storms, starvation, cannibals and disease in their persuit of adventure. Their stories are immediate, passionate and dramatic accounts of contact with the unknown, discovered in the mountains of the Himalaya, the jungles of New Guinea, the ice flows of the Arctic and the ruins of Peru.
With selections from Tim Cahill, Redmond O'Hanlon, John Long, Fridtjof Nansen and Harold Brodkey, Explore will take you off the map to those few refuges where true discovery is still possible.
