TIM JARVIS combines a love of adventure with a passion for environmental issues - a passion demonstrated through his work as an environmental scientist, public speaker and explorer of many of the planet's remotest places.

As an environmental scientist with Masters in both Environmental Science and Environmental Law, he has undertaken unsupported expeditions to both polar regions and many of the world's deserts, mountains and rainforests, including a record-breaking journey to the South Pole. These incredible feats have tested Tim to the limits of his mental and physical endurance and have provided the basis for two best-selling books and an award-winning documentary.  They have also been used as inspiring source material for Tim's many public speaking engagements to both inviduals and organisations, where talks focus on motivation, leadership and environmental change.

Tim's environmental work is focused on sustainable development in countries including India, Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea and the Phillipines.

The 2011 Shackleton Epic Expedition

Tim is currently preparing his latest expedition, an epic recreation of Shackleton's historic journey using the same type of clothing and equipment as Shackleton and an exact replica of the explorer's famous boat, the James Caird.
