The Invitation
The Arctic - a place of wonder, of magic and at times extreme hardship. I fell in love with this environment early on in my career, the light, the rhythm of moving trough the landscape, the feeling of vulnerability and being so tiny in a vast landscape. In all my travels there's never been any other environment where I feel this so acutely.

I'm excited to be teaming up with good friends - Polar guide & photographer Martin R Hartley, Guide / extreme athlete Ray Zahab and local guides/ hunters to offer a polar sea ice adventure. This is an experiential training course combined with a journey which will cover essential polar skills.

Whether a once in a life time experience or an introduction for the aspiring polar explorer this will not disappoint. You will also be helping us trial new data collection techniques alongside world leading climate scientists which will be vital for the future of modelling climate change.

Please do let me know if you have any questions

When
27th March - 10th April 2024 (please note the date may shift by one or two days but will be locked in May 2023, this is due to the flight plan to the remote communities)

Where
Flights to Ottawa to meet on the 27th March 2024* (TBC) 28th we will fly onwards to Qikiqtarjuaq (flight from Ottawa - Qikiqtarjuaq included)

What
An experiential expedition where we will teach you skills of polar travel. We will make a base in remote cabins a 2 hour snowmobile journey out of Qikiqtarjuaq belonging to locals. From here we will venture out on several day trips before putting skills to practice on a multi day expedition. Some of the topics we will cover.

• Encounter and navigate the pressure ridges of sea ice

• Complete a journey few explorers have visited before learning the art of polar self sufficiency

• Have access to the combined experience of Ray, Martin and myself to learn the processes behind setting up remote expeditions

• Meet and experience the remote, indigenous communities

• Photography from renowned polar photographer Martin as a take away memory

• Help trial new data collection techniques alongside world leading climate scientists which will be vital for the future of modelling climate change.

How
You will be well looked after on this expedition. I will be joined by good friends Ray Zahab - polar explorer / guide and extreme athlete, Martin Hartley - polar guide and award wining polar photographer and 2 local guides and hunters. Although this will be a physically demanding expedition, your safety is first and foremost our priority at all times.
