The Arctic Club Award

The Arctic Club Award was established at the start of the new millennium, to support young enthusiasts on adventurous expeditions to the arctic regions. The fund is administered by the The Gino Watkins Memorial Fund. Each year they can designate one or more expeditions as recipients of an Arctic Club Award. The chosen expeditions receive a combined grant from the Gino Watkins Fund and the Arctic Club Award. Members of each expedition will be invited to the next annual Arctic Club dinner.
