Susan Purvis joins women of the Explorers Club PATHFINDERS virtual symposium.

FRIDAY, November 5 12:30 PM  — 2:00 PM Eastern Time

Session 3:  Disappearances

From Alpine skiers, to WWII battleships, even the most advanced tools and seasoned explorers are vulnerable to the inherent dangers of exploration. What happens when planes meant to fly miles above the ground end up on the bottom of the sea floor? When natural disasters strand adventurers in the harsh wilderness? What becomes of these people and vessels when they disappear from the grid completely? Where did they go and what are their stories? Join our panel Disappearances to meet the incredible women who, by seeking out what is lost, solve the mysteries of people, planes, and boats that have vanished from plain sight. Tune in to find out how their work has deepened our understanding of science, history, and what drives us to explore in the first place.

Featuring: Susan Purvis, Elizabeth Weidner — Host, Valerie Moore, Synnøve Marie Kvam Strømsvåg
