Polar explorer and environmentalist. Marc was the curator of the course and expedition leader.

Marc is one of the few explorers reaching both North and South Pole on foot. His love of the Arctic wilderness has led him to undergo real physical endurance on the ice all in the name of climate change research and nature conservation. His expeditions have a mission. In March 2005 he has set out on ski’s together with Doug Stoup and Petter Nyquist to deploy high-tech satellite beacons tracking the movement of sea ice, air temperature and wind patterns on the Arctic Ocean.

Often under freezing conditions Marc led the team through their journey from Climate Change theory to practical scientific work taking thousands of readings of the snow and ice cover.

Marc together with his partner Michel Schuurman runs other youth-orientated Climate programmes visit their website www.icentials.com to find out more.
