Arctic explorers

Northern ice travelers

Arctic explorers are people who travel to the far northern polar regions to investigate, map, or document them.

The term evokes the era of expeditions seeking the Northwest Passage or racing to the North Pole: Peary claimed to be the first Arctic explorer to reach the pole.

Modern Arctic explorers may be scientists, adventurers, or documentary filmmakers studying climate change and indigenous cultures.
