VANCOUVER – TV host and travel writer Robin Esrock joined keynote speaker Ken Burns as MC of the 108th Explorer’s Club Gala at the Waldorf Astoria in New York.

The Explorer’s Club Dinner is famous for serving exotic delicacies like deep-fried tarantula, worms, eyeballs and alligator claws. Esrock will be presenting awards to illustrious Explorer’s Club members like palaeontologist Philip J Currie and marine conservationist Richard Ellis. Famous members of the Club include Neil Armstrong, Sylvia Earle and Jane Goodall. The theme of the night was:
