Planning a kayaking expedition to the Arctic?
Why not join The Arctic Club?

The Arctic Club was founded in 1932 by Sir James Wordie famous for his journeys to Svalbard, Greenland, Jan Mayen and Baffin Island. One of the benefits of belonging to the Club is the ability of Members to share a wealth of high latitude knowledge.

To become a Full Member of the Arctic Club you must have overwintered in the Arctic or taken part in two significant expeditions. This obviously precludes those who are planning their first expedition who could benefit greatly from the skills and knowledge that the Full Members possess.

Therefore, we felt it would be helpful to draw attention to another category of membership called Associate Membership. This category is open to Scientists, Artists and Authors who can demonstrate an enduring interest in the region, but it is also open to those intrinsically involved in planning an expedition. Members of the club lead or participate in Arctic Expeditions every year and are always willing to share their wealth of knowledge which could be of invaluable use to those venturing to the region for the first time.

For those who have been on one expedition but hope to go on more, they could apply for Aspirant Membership.

With a membership joining fee of just £10, plus £10 per year, the Club represents fantastic value.
