Explorersweb

ExplorersWeb was established more than 15 years ago by Tom and Tina Sjögren, the pioneering couple who accomplished the Three Poles Challenge by conquering Mount Everest and skiing to both the North and South Poles. While engaging with climbers at the base camp of Everest and explorers globally, Tom and Tina grew frustrated with the influence of commercial expedition companies in exploration and the media's tendency to spotlight only well-funded Anglo-Saxon adventures, overlooking the accomplishments of others. This led them to create ExplorersWeb—often referred to as "ExWeb"—aiming to address these issues.
