Highlights (apart from any trip to Norway of course) was a two-week cruise to Antarctica from Puerto Mondt to Ushuaia and an eight-day cruise to Greenland around Disco Bay on the west coast. After taking a break from working life to look after her fantastic son Olav and beloved dogs/pets, she joined Aurora Expeditions in the Sydney office and loved working across their products. But before too long, Norway was calling Anne home and she is thrilled to still be involved with Aurora and assisting with all things Arctic and beyond.

The Arctic
This well-travelled sailor first explored the island of Spitsbergen over 30 years ago. As a young lad on a sailboat with a couple of friends, Christian was fascinated by the ice and convinced that boat was the best means of approaching these types of wild places. In 1983, he took part in the organisation of a cruise round the North Atlantic Ocean with 30 young Swiss sailors on board a 15 metre steel ketch, discovering the Far North while passing by Norway, Spitsbergen and Iceland. This followed with seasons spent in Spitsbergen and Greenland, and a sailing adventure from France to Quebec passing by Iceland, Greenland, Newfoundland and the gulf of Saint-Laurent. Since his earlier adventures, Christian has worked as an engineer for projects such as ‘Round the World Race’ and the ‘America’s Cup’ in the early 90s. Always devoting a part of his life to continue exploring and working in the Polar Regions, he returned to the world of expedition cruising by sailing to Antarctica on a 13 metre sailing boat in 1995. Since 2002 Christian has devoted his time to the Poles, sharing his passion whilst guiding and lecturing on board expeditions to some of the most remote and wild destinations on our planet. Also travelled: Ireland and Scotland, Patagonia, Alaska, South Georgia, Antarctica, and 3 months of navigation in South Georgia, South Sandwich, South Orkney and South Shetlands. Spitsbergen, Greenland, the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia and the Russian Far East (Kuril Islands – Kamchatka – Commander Islands,Wrangel Island).

Juan grew up in a small town in Andalusia, Southern Spain, where he learned to enjoy nature and the outdoors since his very early childhood. His insatiable curiosity about the world took him away at the age of seventeen and since then he has never stopped exploring. He studied Tourism and Hospitality Management and later completed a Masters in International Development with the aim of promoting travelling that focuses on environmental awareness and cultural sustainability. This approach allowed him to take part in a wide variety of tourism projects involving vocational education and training in Nepal , community-based programs with Quechua people in the Andean highlands, guiding treks and volcano climbs in the Atacama Desert and Eastern Island, and managing a kayak company in the west coast of Greenland . In the last few years he has been absolutely enchanted by the wilderness of Antarctica where he works in guest services and even leads trips to the South Pole. In his free time, he will likely be skiing in the Pyrenees, ice climbing in the Alps, or mountaineering in Peru. Otherwise, he may be reading books about Eastern philosophy, writing his personal blog or backpacking with friends and camera in hand. He believes it is a privilege not only to combine his ideas and passion with work, but also to be able to share with guests the experiences of a lifetime.View more details

DAVID NELSON
Naturalist
Kimberley Cruises
The combination of a passion for wildlife and a love for adventure has taken David to some of the most remote and surprising places. Originally hailing from Sydney, he got hooked on ecological field work and after completing his studies in biology began a life of nomadism as he worked, volunteered and travelled his way all over thecontinent.
He has learnt much from spending time in Australia's North, including while researching wildlife at Fogg Dam near Darwin, conducting fauna surveys in the Pilbara and extensive exploration through the Wet Tropics and Cape York. After feeling the Kimberley's pull for many years, Dave's first visit started as a road trip, turned into an extended stay and ended with a decision to base himself indefinitely in the region. On top of exploring the highlights of the area he has taken part in fauna research projects, lived and worked at the Australian Wildlife Conservancy's Mornington Sanctuary. Outside Australia, his love for the rich biodiversity of the tropics has taken him on expeditions to search for and photograph wildlife in Borneo, Costa Rica, Tonga and Papua New Guinea. In contrast, Dave feels just as at home deep in the remote deserts and arid regions of Australia. As a tour guide in Central Australia and leading research expeditions in the Simpson Desert, Dave has introduced hundreds of people to the diversity and culture of theseregions.

JANE MORRIS
Climbing Guide
Antarctica
Jane is an IFMGA qualified mountain and ski guide based in the South Island of New Zealand. She began trawling around the mountains during her time at Otago University, where mountain huts were an excellent substitute for lecture theatres. Prior to guiding full time she worked a number of years in outdoor related industries including ski patrolling in NZ and the USA; as an outdoor instructor in Scotland and for Outward Bound NZ, and as part of the Aoraki Rescue Team based in Mount Cook Village, New Zealand. During a 5 year nomadic work-travel stint around the globe she spent three months in a tent living at Patriot Hills, in the Antarctic Interior. Her memory numbed by the cold, she went back for a second season, and visited the South Pole with a crew of astronauts. She speaks Japanese, has a side line interest in Plant Based Nutrition, and finds the simplicity and awe of life in the mountains a very fulfilling and humbling place to be.View more details

ALEX CHAVANNE
Kayaking Guide
Antarctica
Alex was born and raised in Northern California, an area wilder and closer to nature (and colder!) than most imagine. Since he could hold his head up, he was seated in a kayak, eventually beginning to lead tours off the rough and rocky Santa Cruz coastline after graduating from the University of California. Spending his entire youth climbing and skiing the Sierra’s, surfing, kayaking and boating off the coast, and travelling the world with his parents led him comfortably into a life of guiding. His education in earth sciences at the university inspired an environmentalist attitude, as well as a research-based approach to science and learning. Working among scientists and leading experts has allowed him to make friends with and learn from some of the brightest and enthusiastic members of the industry since the start, and inspired a passion for the birdlife and lichen ecology of the polar regions. After beginning work with a world-class surf kayaker in Santa Cruz, Alex has travelled the world, continuously challenging himself in and out of a kayak. Guiding month long kayak trips in the PatagonianFiords
,
paddling the deceivingly tricky and frigid waters of the Pacific Northwest, and providing hands-on logistical support for whole-season scientific field trips in the High Arctic , among others have provided lessons and experience in leadership and wilderness conduct. Although these skills are useful for guiding work in polar regions, they also transfer well to Alex’s personal life. When not guiding, he can be found climbing, paddling, skiing and fishing around the Lofoten Islands which he calls home.View more details

Growing up New Zealand she finished her Advanced Diploma in Travel Management before embarking on her journey in the travel industry.

Amelya loves meeting new people and immersing herself into local cultures and even though worlds apart experiences, she fell in love with the gorgeous kids of Papua New Guinea but also the big bright lights of New York City. When she is not at work she loves to be outdoors – enjoying Waka Ama (outrigger canoeing), catching up with friends and family and cheering on the mighty All Blacks even though she has been living in Australia for nearly 20 years - she will always be a "Kiwi girl".View more details

DANIEL GIFFNEY
Inside Sales Manager Daniel has always had a passion for travel and exploring from a young age. Since moving from Scotland to Perth, Australia as a baby, he’s been lucky enough to experience many different countries and cultures growing up. After trying his hand across different industries such as Hospitality, Education and Finance, he followed his passion to establish a career within the Travel Industry. Over the years, he’s worked a range of Sales and Management roles at STA Travel where he had the opportunity to explore more of the world and satisfy his wanderlust. Taking a long sabbatical in 2017 to focus primarily on backpacking through South America was a huge lifelong dream come true for Daniel. Among the many highlights were trekking through the Colombian jungle to make it to a camp with hammocks on the beach with the waves rocking him to sleep, marvelling at the wonder of seeing Machuu Picchu up close, quad and mountain biking through the Sacred Valley of Peru while trying the local delicacy Coy, learning (basic!) Spanish in the Bohemian district of Buenos Aires and helping train a pack of Husky Sleigh dogs at a cabin in the forest nearPatagonia in Chile.
He then did a stint living in the South West of England before then returning recharged back to Perth to head up and establish the WA National Contact Centre at STA, later moving to the “Big Smoke” of Sydney to join Aurora Expeditions as our Sales Manager. Daniel is always excited for the next adventure, having been lucky enough to visit 49 countries to date and hoping to be able to visit that awe inspiring seventh continent of Antarctica sometime soon. When not counting down the days to his next trip, you’ll find him cycling out to explore new areas or discovering quirky bars, restaurants, cafes orshows with friends.
