Please note this is a partner organization - not an Explorers Club event.
Explorers Club member Larry Mayer will talk about his expedition on the Swedish Icebreaker ODEN which made it to Victoria and Nordenskiold Fjords in northern Greenland, further than any ship had ever traveled before in the Lincoln Sea. Once there, the team spent several weeks mapping and making a myriad of other measurements in order to
understand the processes responsible for the rapid melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

The Harvard Travellers Club (HTC) is an organization that has provided a venue for adventurous travelers to gather and socialize since 1902. An affiliation with Harvard University is not required for membership.
The Club meets 8 times each year, and held its 900th meeting since inception in November 2022. Our speakers include many legendary -- as well as up-and-coming -- explorers, scientists, mountaineers, and adventurers.
