The Oxford University Exploration Club was established in December 1927 by Edward Max Nicholson, Colin Trapnell, and Charles Sutherland Elton.
The Club's aim is to support and advise students with planning original expeditions abroad. Recent expeditions to Tibet, the Congo, Greenland, Trinidad, Mongolia, Svalbard, Namibia, Papua New Guinea and the remote Comoros Islands have discovered new species of birds, insects and plants, published scientific papers on the rainforest canopy, found some of the world’s deepest caves, scaled unclimbed peaks and recorded the folk music of nomads; all in co-operation and collaboration with local people and organisations.
The Club was merged in 1965 with the Oxford University Women's Exploration Club (founded by Henrietta Hutton), with equal status granted for both male and female members.
Former members include:
Edward Shackleton, Baron Shackleton - Chairman 1932-33, member of the 1932 expedition to Sarawak in Borneo, organised by Tom Harrisson, along with the Oxford University Ellesmere Land Expedition (led by Gordon Noel Humphreys)
Wilfred Thesiger - Treasurer of the Club's Committee 1931-1932
Alex Hibbert
John Buchan - President 1930 - 1934
Gerald Harvey Thompson - assistant entomologist on the 1938 expedition to the Cayman Islands
James Fisher (naturalist) - Junior Treasurer 1932-34
Andrew Croft - Oxford University Arctic Expedition, 1935–36
Kenneth Mason (geographer) - Vice President 1933 - 1938
