Exploitation and vicious power struggles: CuChullaine O’Reilly, Founder of the Long Riders’ Guild, questions the future of exploration organizations.

LRG Editorial: Exploration Clubs - What Future for a Tradition in Decline

It began in 2003. The next year there was a rerun. Now it's an ExWeb tradition. Here goes the annual turkey story. Happy Thanksgiving, guys!

A little turkey story rerun

Lack of resources prevent us from following up on all news sent to Newsdesk related to our brothers and sisters across the pond. Here at least a fast wrap on those we missed lately.

Over the pond: adventure news from UK (and how to buy love on Twitter)

Feelings are more easily ascribed to alps than people considered poor, study shows.

Cho Oyu current: Study may explain sympathy for alps over humans

Everest is the most beautiful of mountains. Here's why.

Editorial: Everest, the most beautiful of mountains

How do we save the mountains and the spirit of mountaineering a climbers' roundtable asked, calling to media to share responsibility for values. Here's an idea.

Editorial: Dedicated tourist routes to save the future of mountaineering?

A new poll has been posted.

New poll, have your say: Brice hero or quitter?

"I'm getting just a bit done with my mates confusing human rights with culture," writes ExWeb's Tina Sjogren.

Editorial: Yemen misunderstood? Not so fast

This editorial by Explorersweb co-founder Tina Sjogren is a tribute to the three mountaineers lost in their attempt for first winter ascent via a new route of Gasherbrum 1.

Editorial: the price of knowing great men

What's with all the new links? What's going on at Explorersweb? "Our editorial task has changed," write ExWeb's founders in this story. "Content is still king but media itself is transforming and adapting to a stronger voice." And it's just the beginning.

ExWeb opening up the world of news and dispatches

The dissident didn't have to have the obvious explained to him. Through his life he had been imprisoned for years by the Communist occupiers of his country. Recently, as world leaders and the Olympic committee scrambled to defend the Red Chinese, Vaclav Havel warned of the peace of the graveyard.

Tina Sjogren to Vaclav Havel: Goodbye Mr. President

In Baikonur, preparing to leave the planet definitely more lightweight than he's used to, American Astronaut Don Pettit penned his thoughts on what makes an explorer.

"Summiting K2 with a small group of friends, through the peak's wild side, and without supplementary oxygen is almost as beautiful as it gets," writes ExWeb founder Tina Sjogren about Gerlinde's success closing the dramatic and decade-long quest for the first female fourteen 8000ers.

K2 editorial: end of an era in womens' Himalaya

Reaching the South Pole or North Pole is not about egos but takes a team effort, says Sean Chapple. He shares nine strategies while on the polar ice with ExplorersWeb: strategies from leadership, complacency, setbacks, decision making, off days and fun days.

Opinion: Royal Marines Sean Chapple’s 9 strategies on the ice (part 2/2):

Some years back Sean Chapple led a team of three Royal Marines unassisted and unsupported at Antarctica in over 2200 km distance. The 2011-12 Antarctic season will be busy and today Sean discusses at ExWeb what makes the difference between teams who succeed and those who don’t.
