For World Oceans Week 2021, we've partnered up with sponsor and legacy outdoors equipment company Fjällräven for special edition Kånken Art backpacks, with a mission to keep plastics out of the oceans. Piece by piece.

This is a "mini" version of the Kånken Art backpack, perfect for both children and adults wanting a smaller backpack -- at approximately 11.5 x 8 inches.

Available in Ocean Deep and Ocean Surface color palettes, this unique design was developed by Swedish illustrator and animator Linn Fritz, with an aim to raise awareness about plastic waste and the health of our oceans. This special edition fabric consists of Fjällräven’s G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco, which is made from recycled polyester and organic cotton. Further, each Kånken Art backpack features a special edition Explorers Club World Oceans Week "Compass Wave" Pin, enamel on gold plating.

This backpack is perfect for carrying a change of clothes for preschool or food on an outing, and as a smart everyday bag for books, water bottles, fruit and more. The shoulder straps are long and adjustable and fit both small and big backs. They can be fastened with a clasp so that they are not in the way when at their tightest. The main compartment has a large zipped opening, which makes it easy to pack and unpack. Two flat side pockets and a zipped pocket on the front. The included PE foam seat cushion is stored in the interior back pocket and also prevents the contents in the main compartment from poking against your back. Handles at the top and slender, adjustable shoulder straps. The logo on the front is reflective. It also has an address label inside the main compartment.

About 71% of the earth ́s surface is covered by oceans. Tragically, estimates indicate that by the year 2050, there will be more plastic in the oceans than there are fish, unless we seriously change our habits and the way we handle our waste. This special edition Kånken Art backpack aims to increase awareness around these problems, but also hopes to inspire change: Since 80% of ocean plastics come from land, our immediate surroundings are a good place to start. Let’s do it together, one piece of plastic at a time.

For World Oceans Week 2021, we've partnered up with sponsor and legacy outdoors equipment company Fjällräven for a special edition Kånken Art Sling backpack with a mission to keep plastics out of the oceans. Piece by piece.

This is the classic Kånken backpack scaled down to a small shoulder bag. Available in both Ocean Deep and Ocean Surface color palettes, this unique fabric design was developed by Swedish illustrator and animator Linn Fritz, with an aim to raise awareness about plastic waste and the health of our oceans. 

The special edition fabric consists of Fjällräven’s G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco, which is made from recycled polyester and organic cotton. Further, each Kånken Art Sling backpack features a special edition Explorers Club World Oceans Week "Compass Wave" Pin, enamel on gold plating.

About 71% of the earth ́s surface is covered by oceans. They produce over half of the oxygen on our planet and are home to over one million species of animals and even more plants. Furthermore, the oceans are the key regulators of the climate. It is safe to say that every living thing on Earth is dependent on the health of our seas.

The Explorers Club is proud to release this limited edition coin, celebrating the finding of Ernest Shackleton's legendary ship Endurance in Antarctic waters. Only 106 Coins will ever be made — one for each year Endurance was lost in the Weddell Sea — before being found by the Endurance22 Expedition on March 5th, 2022, carrying Club Flag #35.

Led by Club Member Ernest Shackleton, Endurance set off in 1914 for the Antarctic Circle as part of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Eventually, disaster struck when the ship became trapped in pack ice and, nearly a year later, sank in the Weddell Sea off Antarctica on November 21st, 1915. Shackleton led his crew to safety, using the ship's boats to travel to Elephant Island, resulting in an incredible story of bravery and survival. 

106 years later, on March 5th, 2022, the wreck of Endurance was found by search team Endurance22, carrying Explorers Club Flag #35. Endurance lies 9,869 feet deep, and has been designated as a protected historic site. To celebrate this historic achievement, The Explorers Club has produced this very limited collection of commemorative coins.

The Endurance Coin features an iconic image of Endurance taken on-site. An original daguerreotype, taken by expedition photographer Frank Hurley, now hangs at The Explorers Club Headquarters in New York City. The Club Flag is on the opposing side.

Each coin is individually numbered, 001-106. Coin numbers will be assigned and shipped chronologically, in accordance with the time your order is received. Please place your order soon to ensure a lower coin number.

Please note: Coin 001 & 010 have been reserved; 002-009 are priced at $500; 011-025 are priced at $250, and coins 026-106 are priced at $125. Each coin includes a Certificate of Authenticity, issued in The Explorers Club's Archives and signed by the Club's Archivist.

Please note that this is a polished silver coin — a digital image has been provided above to showcase the coin's detail. Includes velvet navy blue case. Please allow up to one week for shipment, with free shipping for domestic orders.

In the summer of 1881, Lt. Adolphus Greely of the Fifth United States Cavalry and a crew of twenty-one men set out on the Proteus to explore the then relatively-unknown Arctic Circle.

During their three-year journey, the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition, as it came to be known, was meant to ascertain new astronomical data, to establish an observation station, and to record other meteorological data. And while they did accomplish those tasks, the crew of the Proteus will instead forever be remembered for the catastrophe that they encountered, one that yielded few survivors.

After a relatively calm first year in the Arctic, the members of the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition grew increasingly desperate as ships carrying essential supplies—food, clothing, and building materials, among other items—failed to reach them due to increasingly perilous conditions. Slowly but surely the harsh weather and low supplies decimated the crew, as one by one they succumbed to the merciless Arctic. When a rescue vessel finally reached the Proteus in 1884, only six members of the original expedition remained.

Told in concise prose with stunning clarity, Proteus crew member David L. Brainard's Outpost of the Lost is an inspiring account of human spirit and perseverance, and is not be missed by any armchair adventurer or history buff. Paperback, 336 pages.
