The Funders

 

Without the support of the funders both financially and logistically, this expedition would not have been possible. 

We are honoured to have been awarded the Scientific Exploration Society Neville Shulman Explorer Award 2015

The Scientific Exploration Society 

The Scientific Exploration Society (SES) is a UK registered charity (No. 267410). It was founded in 1969 by Colonel John Blashford-Snell and colleagues following the successful first navigation of the Ethiopian Blue Nile in order to initiate a worldwide programme of scientific expeditions for the exploration of remote regions of the earth; focusing on scientific, conservation, education and community aid projects.

The SES is one of the longest running exploration organisations in the world, with an unrivalled record of initiating over 150 expeditions in its 43 year history, achieving many “world firsts” in exploration, pioneering and testing specialist equipment in the field and developing leadership skills.
