the GUIDes

We are not a company as such. We are a team of experienced, polar oriented, outdoor adventurers and enthusiasts. Along with Børge Ousland and Vincent Colliard, we provide expertise, guidance and coaching, and we will team up with you in small teams to face challenges in amazing areas of our planet.

the PHILOPOSHY

The philosophy is straight forward: adhere to the Norwegian polar approach of thorough preparation. As we say, “80% of the project should be completed before leaving home.” Once in the field, we aim to execute the expedition to the best of our abilities. By following this method, we not only learn and grow but also gain immense satisfaction and maximizing our chances of achieving our shared goal. 

DON’T ASK WHAT THE TRIP CAN DO FOR YOU

ASK WHAT YOU’RE READY TO BRING TO THE JOURNEY

We love our very mixed teams of both gender and nationallities. We believe that it takes away the competition aspect and makes focusing on the moment easier. To learn respect and teamwork, to enhance the hidden strengths of everyone, it is essential not only for landing big challenges successfully - but also in life.When you have prepared to the maximum of your abillity, we want you to turn your focus around and start asking “what you can to for the trip’’.

THE GREATeST LIVING EXPLORER

To have Børge at the midst of our team is very important. To have a man with such an insane Polar CV, not only implies his obsession to details, safety and preparation upon us all, it is equally both a reassurance and motivation for you to come join our team and head out there!
