An Evening With

Chris Nicola

Chris Nicola is an Explorers Club Fellow who has led over 40 caving expeditions across six continents — best known for uncovering the true story of 38 Jewish families who survived the Holocaust by living underground in a cave in Ukraine for over a year, a story that became the documentary No Place On Earth and the book Secret of Priest's Grotto. On the evening of November 13th in Luxor, he joins our group for a private conversation about exploration, discovery, and what it means to go somewhere most people never reach. This is not a lecture. It's a conversation — over dinner, with someone who has spent his life finding stories the world almost forgot.
