| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The first three decades of the 20th century produced the most information to date on the Polar regions of Earth, specifically in Antarctica. Other explorers were journeying to undiscovered places in Asia and Brazil during this time period as well. The most influential and brave explorers of this era were granted honorary membership into the Explorers Club, an international organization with a goal to encourage exploration worldwide. This book takes a look at the explorers given honorary induction in between the years 1914 - 1927 and their legacies. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added.
