EC grantee Børge Ousland crosses Patagonia's Southern Ice Field

The National Geographic Expeditions Council (EC) funds exploration and adventure around the world. EC grants support a wide range of projects including marine research, archaeological discoveries, documentation of vanishing rain forests, first ascents, and more. Through these compelling stories we reinforce our mission to foster a deeper understanding of the world and its inhabitants.
