All ARK Aberration Explorer Notes

Every explorer note on Aberration — all 141 of them, with exact coordinates, grouped by author and listed in journal order. Reading them stacks an XP buff and fills in the lore. Aberration is a layered, partly-underground map with no-fly radiation zones, so these are listed by author and zone rather than a single flight route.

Are creature dossiers the same as explorer notes?
These are the written explorer notes. Creature Dossiers (14 on Aberration, by Helena Walker) are a separate collectible category and aren't listed here.
How do I read the coordinates?
They're in-game GPS values written as Latitude, Longitude. Open your map (default M) to see your current Lat/Lon, then travel to the listed spot.
