"Jarvis clearly likes to do things the hard way. Gimmicky, glory-seeking adventure is not his style, so when he takes to the ice he does it for a reason. His reputation for being a proper explorer with a real explorer's values is based on a lot of miserable, unseen, unsung graft."

Nick Smith, Book Dealer Review

Tim has been undertaking cutting-edge expeditions for 20 years and has a long history of working with sponsors and the media. Read about expeditions including Tim's latest venture to recreate Shackleton's famous journey set for 2011, his world-record-breaking unsupported journey to the South Pole, the award-winning kayak trip to the dry centre of Australia, living on the largest uninhabited island in the South Pacific and Tim's gruelling expedition to recreate the polar survival journey of explorer Sir Douglas Mawson - done the old way using only 1913 clothing and equipment and starvation rations.
