As a result, the most important expeditions over the last 160 years were captured and preserved by incredibly dramatic images. Explorers gathers together hundreds of these rare archival photographs plus maps, prints and drawings reproduced on stunning gatefolds. Text includes a short biography of each explorer, the extraordinary stories of their expeditions and passages from their personal journals. In all, 53 stories are featured.

Some of the explorers featured are: - David Livingstone and the missionary roadA . - Henry Stanley, looking for Livingstone. - Isabella Bird Bishop in China. - Ernest Shackleton in Antarctica. - Timothy O'Sullivan recording the Wild West. - Roald Amundsen, the Northwest Passage and the South Pole. - Gertrude Bell in Iraq. - Maria Reiche in Peru. - Thor Heyerdahl and the Kon-Tiki raft across the Pacific. - Freya Stark, a solitary female explorer of the Middle East. - Nikolai Mikhailovich Przhevalsky, mapmaker to the czar. - Edmund Hillary atop Mount Everest. - Challenger exploring deep space. - Alexandra David-Neel in the heart of Tibet.
