About Expeditions
- An expedition is typically some kind of venture or journey with a specific purpose. Throughout history many expeditions have been about exploration, colonisation or conquering.
- Nowadays most expeditions are of scientific nature, one way or the other, setting out, perhaps, to examine the living conditions of whales in parts of the Pacific Ocean or to carry out excavations in North Africa.
- What types of expedition do we know and what are the typical purposes involved? Are there still undiscovered places left on the planet?
- Keynote speakers on expeditions take a closer look at these matters, trying to provide answers to such questions and more.
