Meet National Geographic’s most extreme explorers and adventurers.
To hold the unofficial title of “Mr. Everest” is some accomplishment. Add a deep understanding of Zen philosophy and a commitment to serving the people of Nepal and you have a unique perspective on the ultimate climb and all that it represents.
Experience the wonder of deep-sea exploration through Ballard and his Institute for Exploration, which uses robotics, mapping, and submersibles to explore the last great frontier.
This dynamic mountaineer, author, and extreme-adventure guide is a favorite on the corporate speaking circuit. His lessons from a life in the field resonate with a wide variety of audiences.
There are adventurers and there are madmen. Ousland may be a bit of both. As a speaker, he shares the mental and physical rigors of solo polar exploration and applies those lessons to real-world situations.
Refuse to believe anyone who says you must narrow your focus to achieve success. Sereno has managed to blend art, science, and adventure into his dream job as a dinosaur hunter.
Known by many titles—educator, activist, photographer, and explorer—Steger is a pioneer in his field, with a series of firsts in polar exploration to his credit.
One of an elite few who have summited the world’s 14 tallest peaks, Viesturs chooses to tackle them without the benefit of supplemental oxygen—so that he can experience the mountain as it is, without reducing it to his level.
