Throughout my career as a polar explorer, I've been lucky enough to be able to see beautiful landscapes, meet incredible people and live extraordinary adventures.

I've tried to capture these moments on film (in some cases I've been accompanied by a professional photographer) and I'd like to share some of these with you. Enjoy!

  • While, during the two or three days following the departure from the Pole, the terrain on which Alain and Dixie progressed was more or less acceptable, yesterday april 29th, however, was another dive into an indescribable hell.

    Before the pole and some miles after, the terrain and ice were good enough. Alain and Dixie were optimistics for the days to come. But the second part of their expediition, the trek North Pole - Greenland turned rapidly to hell...

  • May 21st : as proof that the conditions on which the men progress have changed, Dixie and Alain have been able to speed up to a ten hour daily walking regime and their pace is now of 15 km a day. As of yesterday, 399 kilometres still separated them from land.

    This part of the Arctic Arc 2007 expedition was with no doubt the most stressful one. First, the terrain was even more rotten than on the Siberian side. Two, due to abnormal ice melt, team had to change their plan and choose another route. Three, when they finally approached the greenland coasts, their progression turned to hell...

  • A huge zone of fractured ice has come up between the expedition and its arrival point along the coast of Greenland. As a result, the men must change their direction and walk around the zone in question. Serious worries amongst the expedition.
