Exploring - Antartica to Mt. Everest
Apr. 21, 2020
Jim Williams founded Exploradus in 1985. His lifelong curiosity with fascinating cultures and pristine places inspired him to share his passion for exploration with his clients.

From successfully guiding the Seven Summits (the highest mountains of each of the seven continents) in under one year, to retracing Shackleton’s epic crossing of South Georgia Islands in the hazardous Antarctic to co-leading the first Ski Expedition to the South Pole, Jim has earned a world-class reputation as an explorer and mountain guide.
