Polar Plunge 2024

The annual Royal Canadian Geographical Society Polar Plunge is back!

This year we are joined by notable Canadians, adventurers, and RCGS Fellows. The #RCGSPolarPlunge will help the Society raise important funding for the rich storytelling and engaging interviews that take place under the banner of the Canadian Geographic Explore podcast.

Our goal is to raise $35,000! With your help we can continue to expand Canadians’ knowledge of our country’s diverse human and physical landscapes, better preparing them for an uncharted future.

I'm fundraising for...

another season of unique and thoughtful conversations and storytelling on the Canadian Geographic Explore Podcast with some of the world's leading explorers talking about how the beauty and challenges of the natural world spark their spirit of adventure.
