Polar Adventure Travel


Ice Warrior is all about modern-day exploration using ordinary, everyday people to achieve extraordinary expeditionary feats.
Our discoveries are more about subjects such as the reality of global climate change, changes to flora, fauna and topography and as we come across these experiences we deliver them into the many homes, schools and businesses that follow us.
We also conduct scientific investigations into the physiology and psychology of operating in the world’s wildest and extreme regions and help to develop a larger margin of safety for those that work and live in such environments by working on survival and rescue equipment, procedures and protocols. And we fly the flag of Cancer Research UK.
All these things we do with the crucial support of our sponsors who fund the operations and our friends and families who put up with our absences.
