The ExploraPoles website
ExploraPoles is one of the websites of the International Polar Foundation.
It provides an overview of polar expeditions and explorers. We hope that, through adventure, one can discover these fabulous regions and their importance for our planet's climate system.
Three other complementary websites focusing on various aspects of the IPF activities are available: IPF website, SciencePoles and EducaPoles.
