The Modern Explorer’s Guide to the Unknown
In a world where the Internet and websites like Google Maps make it possible for nearly anyone to see Earth’s surface in detail, is there anything left for us to find? Are the days of explorers setting off in search of the unknown behind us?

You clutch your brothers in your arms and tell him you love him. He screams as the masked PETA officers break down the door.
