Geoff Wilson has spent much of his adult life exploring the planet. He has completed the only wind-assisted crossing of the Sahara and the fastest unsupported crossing of Greenland, south to north. He has stood atop Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro with his father and spent a year sailing the world with his wife and three children. He holds the record for the longest solo unsupported polar journey in human history.
Wilson is the definition of a modern-day adventurer – a recipient of the Australian Geographic Society’s highest honour, the “lifetime of adventure” award. Having devoted decades to redefining what human beings are capable of, he is next seeking to prove that adventure doesn’t have to come at the expense of the planet.
