Today on International Mount Everest Day, we commemorate the first successful ascent of the highest point on Earth on 29 May, 1953, while honouring our founder, Greg Mortimer, whose indomitable spirit of adventure laid the foundation for Aurora Expeditions over 33 years ago. In 1984, Greg became one of the first two Australians to summit Mount Everest without supplementary oxygen, a feat that earned him the Order of Australia and three Australian Geographic Society Medals for his contributions to mountaineering. Today, Greg continues to lead expeditions and share his passion for exploration with our guests. Join him on our upcoming Arctic Complete voyage and experience his spirit of adventure firsthand: https://bit.ly/3K6ZZqu 📸 Michael Baynes  #InternationalMountEverestDay #Mountaineering #GregMortimer #AuroraExpeditions #FoundersVoyage #ArcticComplete
