In 1911, 32 adventurers set out to explore Antarctica. Today, 32 adventurers will help provide the funds to save it.

107 years ago geologist Douglas Mawson departed from Hobart on his remarkable 1911-1914 Australasian Expedition to Antarctica. The celebrated journey is famous for the courage and endurance of its 32 expeditioners.  Antarctic heroes and pioneers for science, they made significant accomplishments in in geology, glaciology, meteorology and terrestrial biology. These men had no idea what discoveries lay ahead, but they were committed to scientific discovery and excited to embark on this once in a lifetime adventure. 

Like Mawson, we are looking for bold souls with a passion for saving the world through Antarctic Science to join us on our journey to build the Antarctic Science Foundation as a vibrant driver for advancing Antarctic research, conservation and global understanding.

There are two tiers to the Founding Donors’ Club: The 32 and The 107.
