Dennis and Peter are most known for their astonishing finding of the Baltic Anomaly on 19th June 2011 which undoubtedly fits as a case for the X-files. A circular object, 60 m in diameter, the wingspan of a Boeing 747, resting 90 m below the Baltic Sea, and it looks like an underwater UFO. Dennis and Peter aren’t specialists in UFOs, nor have they argued that their finding is an alien spacecraft but the mystery surrounding the object is mesmerizing, to say the least, and the more they have investigated the case, additional questions about the nature of their discovery has surfaced. www.meetingexplorers.com

The first solo circumnavigation of the world by human power by Turkish-American engineer Erden Eruç. In July 2007, Erden set out from Bodega Bay, north of San Francisco, aiming to become the first person to circumnavigate the planet solo, entirely under his own power—no motors, no sails, no means of propulsion other than his own strength. His plan was to travel across three oceans and six continents by boat, bike, and foot, more than 74 000 km or 40,000 miles in all, and climbing six of the seven summits, apart from Vinson Massif in Antarctica. www.meetingexplorers.com

Roger navigated the Orange II boat during Tropheé Jules Verne in 2005, which then became the fastest boat to circumnavigate the world, but his aptitude in navigating in our inner realm is just as fascinating. Roger has started in ten round the world races and completed eight lapses around the planet. He completed Whitbread Round The World Race (WRTWR) and later named Volvo Ocean Race (VOR) six times. He was in the midst of the formidable Fastnet Race in 1979 when seventeen sailors tragically lost their lives in a perfect storm and in 1985 Roger and his crew was rescued when their celebrity Whitbread Maxirater Drum lost their keel and turned upside down. Rogers formidable list of close encounters with both life and death goes on. www.meetingexplorers.com

A genuine discourse about the obsession of climbing, risk vs. reward, addiction, and losses. Colin holds the speed records on three of the grandest faces of the Central Alaska Range: south face of Denali (8:07), north face of Begguya (7:47), and south face of Sultana (12:29). I am curious to learn what outlook a person who live life on the edge has on the world, if living a fulfilling life instead of counting the years is more sought after and what the future of alpinism hold. www.meetingexplorers.com

Liv Arnesen and American polar explorer Ann Bancroft become the first women in history to sail and ski across Antarctica’s landmass — completing a 94-day, 1,717-mile (2,747 km) trek. Liv have had to endure male screaming out “damn woman” as she overtakes them in the classic Birkebeiner cross-country ski race in Norway and when Liv and Ann pitched their 2001 Antarctic crossing expedition CEO’s have reproached them for not looking strong enough. The arguments against women presence in Antarctica leads back to 1900s with inability of the weaker sex to surviving the hostile conditions. Modern doubts circle around women threatening the male culture with cat-fighting and sexual promiscuity. It’s been a long struggle to prove that women can hold their own in polar regions why Liv and Ann’s traverse over the Antarctica continent in 2000/2001 was so important. www.meetingexplorers.com
