Trailblazing Talks with Albert Lin, Explorer In Search of Lost Cities

Albert Lin is a professional explorer, blurring boundaries between human and machine, while uncovering the lost relics of our past. In 2016, Albert lost his leg below the knee as a result of a dune buggy accident in the California Dunes. His transformation through the use of innovative prosthetics drives his relentless quest into the farthest reaches of our planet — from Mongolia to the Mayan jungle — employing a technologist’s approach to unearth lost cultural stories and rituals. His first National Geographic expedition was to Mongolia to locate the elusive tomb of the leader Genghis Khan. Today, he continues his search using cutting-edge satellite technology to locate the lost cities of the Maya and uncover timeless insights in the Arabian desert, exploring human resilience and ancient wisdom.
